Most countrysides look somewhat like that. At least the one i was forced to grow up in. Sure, there are lots of plants but nevertheless the land is ecologically dead because there’s only a few species (mostly 3 different subspecies of corn). Sure there are some trees but i think the trees feel as lonely as i did when i lived there.

If you want to live in nature, go to the mountains or some place that has large bodies of water nearby (lakes, rivers, ocean). That’s where the actual life is.

It’s because of a mixture of landscape reasons. Large flat areas are attractive to farming, so that’s what’s being done. On the other side, mountains are unattractive for that because the big machines can’t drive over uneven soil. Similarly, large waters host a ton of biodiversity because water is the origin of all life, and you can really feel that. Just give it a try.

    But if you do get a decent amount of land in the country side like this, you can do alot of landscaping and turn it into something pretty.

    I grew up surrounded by farmland, but we had wide variety of trees, grasses, and plants on our particular plot of land
