When I was a kid, it seems like this whole part of Texas was cotton farms. Of course, I was a kid a long time ago (never mind just HOW long), so my memory is likely wrong.

But over the past 15 or 20 years, there’s been a huge increase in the numbers of dairy farms, which have caused these little mountains of cow feed to pop up. They’re covered with bright, white plastic and weighed down with tires, and eventually erode away. But new ones are always showing up.
