Coronado Feeders, Dalhart, Texas, 2012 (Feedlots series, detail)
This is an aerial photograph of a cattle farm feedlot in Texas. The photo looks post-apocalyptic. The colors and shapes created by the feedlot look more like the outcome of an oil spill or natural disaster than a farm. This image shows how factory farming can impact the land it is done on. It also shows the differences between the realities of factory farming and the ideas of farming that many Americans have. Label by Becca Gurysh
