While flying over the country, I have occasionally seen these humongous, perfectly round circles in the ground. From the colors of them they looked like farms, but it seemed odd to me to grow them in circles.

Some of the circles even had a mix of crops that made them look like pie charts.

I finally Googled about this and found out this is part of the Ogallala Aquifer combined with Center Pivot Irrigation, transforming the dust bowl into a lush productive land… or at least many. many circles of it.
