These feel a little tame compared to other contributions. But ya shoot what ya got.
Feedback welcome.

I like all three of them.
The first has wonderful light, and the third is a "classic" prairie photo, nicely done.
The second has more competition on nth forum, perhaps, but it is still quite good.
I would be happy to have shot any of the three.

I like the silos, it's a simple shot with good colours which make these lumps of metal look quite delicate. They are an interesting part of your landscape.

I like the clouds of the 2nd, well framed.

Nice colours on the 1st, a hell of a sky on the 2nd. It would be interesting to see a B&W conversion of the 3rd.

Good trio, that says "prairie" quite nicely.
Can we get #3 with the sky from #2? :)

Thanks to all for these comments.
Paulo, I am always amazed at how quickly interesting clouds appear and disappear. Sometimes they line up with something good.
Here's another version of #2.

They may be tame and we all can't go to far away locations and people often overlook opportunities because some things seem commonplace or ordinary. Don't let that hold you back; not all of us live near farms or fields and have the everyday opportunity to capture their sense of openness, vastness and isolation. Sometimes the skill of a photographer emerges when he or she can take something ordinary and make it stand out as you have done. Sometimes fantastic shots have been taken in people's backyards or in their neighbourhood.
In the first photograph there is subtle drama as one can sense the energy in the dark (and scary-looking) sky and cloudscape. One can imagine that the shot was a harbinger of a nasty storm. At any rate, the clouds in the upper right hand quandrant look almost as if they were from a painting; not something that one can capture every day. There seem to be small rolling hills or mounds in the distance. The different hues of green in the grass are interesting as are the grey-blues of the sky.
I like the clouds; such an unusual formation.
The four tanks/containers/silos (?) are interesting and contrast with the crop in the field, which is what makes the picture interesting. Just curious but what is the crop and what is in the containers? The photo shows a great vastness and it might be worth considering experimenting by cropping either a portion of the bottom or top of the picture. Also, you may wish to experiment with having the tanks in the field just slightly off centre in the photos (again, cropping may help with this).
All your photos are interesting and give us a different perspective, so thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback, Sean. The crop is probably wheat, and it is stored in the bins until the farmer gets a call from the railway that it is time to move the harvest to a grain terminal.
Isolated bins like this are becoming less common, being replaced by gigantic white plastic bags, but, you're right, they are a big landscape element (https://www.flickr.com/photos/59795859@N00/11551391806/in/album-72157630103924810/).
Terry, Chuck, Brandt: thanks!

#1 really draws me in and makes me stop.
#3 is cute, postcard-y.

#1 is really fascinating.
