@Ln X really lovely scenes, is that an MMP 'swing'? where did you find it!?

I used MMPs created by ErnestMaxis- https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=3493.

And yet more farmland!

I am always very impressed by your work @korver ! It could not seem more realistic. And the scenes you choose, combined to the photo editing, are absolutely magic. Master, you are so inspiring.

[korver 27,686]

Thanks for the kind words @Altec

The farmlands between Pine Ridge and Darbyville. 

A small agricultural storage silo along with a recycling center.

A few farmfields near the woodland edge.

These Blank Green Fields, what are these

[raynev1 1,887]

@Talla 2XLC I believe they are pasture if I'm not mistaking . One of my favorite for agriculture .

[LexusInfernus 908]

Aren't they part of the standard Maxis agriculture fields?

Yes these are pastures (farm field ID 0x073DC001). They should come with the SPAM super resource pack.

Something a little different: Major road through agricultural land

That's common where I live. Prolly 90% of the major roads here go thru farm fields.

[Jeffrey500 571]

Yes indeed CorinaMarie. Here in the Netherlands its quite the same.

Here is a scene I figured I would share . Shhh. Don't tell , I left the grid on . 

[T Wrecks 10,210]

Wonderful scene with nice diagonals! IMO, it would be even better if you used MMP trees to suppress the dirt base texture on that railway line. I like how you made that dirt road actually lead up to the farm, though. Not to mention how well the field follows the given space requirements.

Got some farmlands to show:

Tulip fields and a museum.

Grass fields, lots of open land. That's what I tried to achieve here compared to the densely packed farms I used to make.

Really good pictures, @simmytu! May I ask you about the link to the chateau-like building in the upper picture?

Sheep farming in Patagonia.

You can see the rest of my Patagonia update here.

The stunning hillsides of Sri Lanka are covered with tea plantations for as far as the eye can see.

More scenes from South Asia in my latest CJ update here.

Welcome to the world of Mons Lacus:

 

This is primarily a farming region:

 

Unlike my last region, this one has more lower level ground interspersed with the hills.  I'm building the farms in the parts that show as greenish-blue in the zones data view rather than in upper brown levels where the sage brush grows (as I did last time).  The dark green pine trees are still sacred, but the rest can be felled to create tillable land.

You can see the pattern of the hills better in the traffic view:

 

Also, by farming in the lower levels I can have trees in between my farms like they are here in RL:

 

In this next pic you'll see Llama Ag lost a diagonal strip of their farm when the interstate highway went thru:

 

Ofc farmers do need some place to buy their equipment and shop for other goods. A small town has sprung up taking over the land previously owned by Pedriana's Plants. (The injunction against them was detrimental to their business.)

So, I've been playing a large tile in smaller version of this map I made for myself. What I'm attempting to do is to make my regions somewhat resemble the real world where I live. Here's a couple of satellite pics of said area:

 

Now, ofc, I'm not trying to model this exactly. What I'm after is the general feel. So using those newly introduced automatically generated terraces, I have a way to have random curvy places on hillsides with trees to give a similar effect. First off this is the zoning mini map (doubled in size):

 

Then for the these pics I'm showing first the regular view followed by the zoning layer with the grid on to better show the slopes of said hills.

 

And then this final pic is showing how the No Kickout lets all three wealth levels coexist without needing to mark any of them historical:
