This picture comes from Faulk County, South Dakota. Besides growing important grains that feed the world, Midwestern farmland also grows a lot of wildlife, including pheasants. Farmland owners may not visit their farms very often if they have a strong relationship with their operator, but an annual hunting trip in fall often can become another great perk of owning the land, along with annual cash rents of upwards to 5%. Small and large game hunting can be done almost anywhere in the Corn Belt.
