Dead By Noon

well looking at it in game I'm guessing they based it of a field with high chalk or limestone levels in the soil most plants cannot grow or produce a large yields on such land except for beet's, cabbages and of course corn.

seeing as Coldwind is in Texas I'm guessing that it is probably around Austin's border which has a very high chalk soil level

and I doubt the hillbilly tends to his fields and waters them regularly so they are very dead and because corn tends to dry out the soil when left too long without water the fields are going to be very bright and dry as a result.

though interesting fact depending on what stage the kernels are in they can last a long time at 15% moisture content which most farmers will do before harvest.
