Fields and farmland backgrounds
Wheat, corn and ploughed fields under a wide sky, young crops in rows, a lone tree on a hill of green wheat, the Central Valley of California and the farmland of central Chile seen from the air. Calm and open, they work well behind text.
Wheat and corn close-ups
Ripe wheat, green wheat, poppies in a wheat field, and corn green in summer and dry in autumn. Full of texture from edge to edge, they make good farm wallpapers.
Farmhouses and barns
Painted and wooden farmhouses in the Swiss mountains and the Swiss countryside, one with a cow in front, old wooden barns with big roofs, farmhouses in the fog, an old stone farmhouse in Turkey, a turf-roofed farmhouse at the Árbær open-air museum in Reykjavík, and a woolshed with its sheep pens in New Zealand.
Orchards, meadows and hay
Orchards on green hills and in spring flowers, a row of young fruit trees, woods and pastures on rolling hills, hay bales and a haystack, an orange orchard below a hill in California, and two walkers on a farm track.
Tractors and farm work
Tractors working a field and an orchard, an old two-wheeled tractor with its trailer, silos, sheep shearing in New Zealand, and farm workers in a field in California.
Rice fields and the rice harvest
Flooded paddies, green rice terraces between palm trees and a ripe field under clouds in Bali, and farmers planting and harvesting rice in Bali and Vietnam.
Farm animals
Hens in the grass, a brown and white cow, goats and donkeys in flowering meadows, two sheep close up, a flock under trees, sheep on a stony path in Croatia, cattle on the savannah in Ghana, and a boy with water buffalo in a paddy field in Vietnam.

Questions about these farm backgrounds
Can I use these farm backgrounds for free?
Yes, for personal and commercial projects. All we ask is a link back to BigFoto.com; the box at the top of the page has a credit link you can copy.
Which photos work best as a farm background?
The first group: wide fields with a calm sky or an even crop leave room for a title, and the wheat and corn close-ups are textured from edge to edge. The farmhouse and barn photos suit a flyer or a farm shop page.
Where were these farm pictures taken?
Most of the farmhouses are in Switzerland, and many of the fields are in Central Europe. Other photos come from the Netherlands, Croatia, Turkey, Iceland, California, Chile, New Zealand and Ghana, and the rice fields from Bali and Vietnam.
