Satellite image of crops growing in Kansas , United States . Healthy, growing crops are green. Corn would be growing into leafy stalks by late June (when this photo was taken). Sorghum , which resembles corn, grows more slowly and would be much smaller and therefore, possibly paler. Wheat is a brilliant gold as harvest occurs in June. Fields of brown have been recently harvested and plowed under or lie fallow for the year. The circular crop fields are a characteristic of center pivot irrigation . The fields shown here are 800 and 1,600 meters (0.5 and 1 mile) in diameter. The image is centered near Sublette, Kansas at about 37.5 degrees north latitude, 100.75 degrees west longitude, and covers an area of 37.2 x 38.8 km. The 'grid' in which the fields are laid out runs north-south/west-east and the dark angled line is U.S. Route 56 . The image is aligned with the satellite orbital track, which is in a 98 degrees tilted orbit. North is about 10 degrees counter-clockwise from up. The image is a false-color presentation made to simulate natural color. The 3 bands that were used are in the green, red, and near infrared parts of the spectrum. ASTER does not have a blue channel, so any blue that can be seen was created from the other bands.
