Charlkie,

Wow, is that 35,000 acres all one farm? Owned by one company?  That is Montana, Wyoming type acreage.
What is grown there?

Dean about 40 miles from me is a 35,000 acre farm that is as flat as
a pancake, literally.   The elevation of the fields is between 6 and 9 feet
above sea level and the water in the ditches is mere inches above sea level
depending on how they have the flood gates set.

Here it is in Google maps:

Charlie,

Out west in NW WA where we have real mountains 1000's of feet high 
surrounding lush farmlands those
30' hills would be considered gopher mounds!  :-)  In NW  IA, the farm land 
was called gently rolling.
I suspect the difference from high to low was quite small too. East of us 
about 30 miles there was a
large farming area that was flat as a pancake which caused real problems 
whenever they had heavy
rains.  Whenever we had heavy rains by us it drained away quite well but 
without a lot of soil loss.
Contour farming became quite popular in the late 50's.

Ralph, the county I live in here in coastal NC has a maximum elevation of
about 55 feet above sea level and that is the
top of the mound at the regional land fill.   My house is on one of the
highest hills in the county and it is about 23' above
sea level!  We do have some hills but as you can tell none of them are over
about 30 feet high!

I don't think so Phil. I took a look on google earth at the area around
Amarillo
and hopefully won't insult anybody when I say it looks dead flat and
boring.
Nothing at all like my part of Sask. in the parklands. If you have
google earth
just search out Mcdonald Hills , Sask. I will admit it does look a
little flatter
than real life. I farm some land there and it definitely has it's ups
and downs.
Here is a picture from last summer of another of my antiques. Its
a driver.
