Despite living here for 40 years I have been awestruck by the wall of green. 
In this part of the world farmers grow soybeans and corn. That accounts for the different shades of green. 
In the foreground are young soybeans. The debris in between the rows is corn left over from last year. This type of "no-till" agriculture is much better on the soil. In the old days farmers would plow the corn from last year under leaving the soil exposed. Many years of erosion were destroying the land. Corn takes out a lot from the soil so most farmers rotate: Plant corn in a field one year and soybeans the next.
