Here's a tip from guy - find out what fields are where by going to this site the day after a cloudless day.
July 26th was just such a day. Pick USA2 and 250m/pixel.

It's enough resolution (barely) to show you where the various field types are. It helps me pick the general direction to head out of town. In the east part of the state the last few years it's been tough to find wheat - it's been almost 100% corn and beans. Luckily the tide turned this year.
You may find it best to download the photo then use a photo browser to zoom in and pan around. Use GoogleEarth or something to get your bearings if you suck at maps/aerials.
Look at the bright light green fields north of Devils Lake... is that replanted wheat after the late frost or what?
