Wind Through Tall Grass

This is the sound of an intermittent wind wisping through a tall grass prairie. This sound can be heard in the "corn belt" of the United States, where thousands of years of tall grass dominance has created a rich, fertile soil. The typical species of tall grass prairies (big and little bluestem, switchgrass, and Indiangrass) thrive in zones of 30-40 inch annual precipitation and reach 6-8 feet in height.
