There's a reason most photojournalists don't dress up for work often. You never know when you'll have to breathe soybean dust in the middle of a northwest Ohio field to get good light.

The setting sun silhouettes farmer Roger Burtchin as he harvests one of his soybean fields, Monday, Oct. 13, 2003.

Because suburbs and subdivisions are encroaching on farmland, there have been some difficulties between the two cultures.
