[QUOTE="MickThompson, post: 5040679, member: 3172"] Historic-aerials.com is a great resource for going "back in time". During the war efforts (WW I and II) farmers were encouraged to clear anything they could grow corn or a cow on. Short-sighted, and the land was quickly abandoned afterwards, as commodity prices contracted back to normal. Best way to tell if a field used to be present is to look at the trees- if the species are spread by wind or bird with little oak or hickory, it was probably cleared. Also look for very large trees with massive spreading crowns aka wolf trees. These were likely shade trees for livestock. [/QUOTE]
