Fields of corn and soybeans stretch toward horizons softened by the humid embrace of the Ohio River Valley, the terrain a mosaic of verdant greens and sun-baked golds. Occasional clusters of mature oak and maple trees punctuate the open spaces, their branches reaching skyward like patient sentinels guarding the quietude of Boston.
