Questions about these wheat field pictures
Can I use these wheat field pictures 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 as a wheat background?
The close-ups of ripe wheat are golden from edge to edge and can be cropped to any size; the wide fields leave the sky free for a title.
What is the difference between a wheat field and a corn field?
Wheat grows knee to waist high with its ears at the top of thin stalks and turns golden in summer. Corn (maize) grows taller than a person, with broad leaves and cobs on the stalk. In British English “corn” can also mean wheat and other grain.
