Resembling a work of modern art, variegated green crop circles cover what was once shortgrass prairie in southwestern Kansas. The most common crops in this regionâFinney Countyâare corn, wheat, and sorghum. Each of these crops was at a different point of development when the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer captured this image on June 24, 2001, accounting for the varying shades of green and yellow. Healthy, growing crops are green.
