Growing up in Illinois, I became familiar with the spectacle of great plains of corn and soybeans. Here, the soil is fabled for its richness, and the farms are large and prosperous. The world’s busiest airport, Chicago’s O’Hare, is designated ORD because the land was formerly part of orchards and vegetable farms. In childhood I spent many happy hours visiting family friends who worked those fields.
