Poppy Field

These poppies are grown for seed, just part of the wildly diverse agricultural options in Oregon's Willamette Valley. This field is just a couple miles north of Mt. Angel.

We talked to the farmer who owned this field. He said that he can't make any money growing food, but he can make money growing poppy seeds. You do what works!

This beauty doesn't last long, but the colors are spectacular. Other flower fields are yellow, orange, or blue, depending on the type of flower--colors that our Nebraska corn and beans can't duplicate!
