Artist Statement by Dustin Ferguson

As the sun sinks low over the prairie, a line of grain bins stands like sentinels—silent, waiting, full of promise and fatigue.

The Length of Harvest captures the emotional weight of the season: deep oranges, reds, and blacks stretch across the sky, echoing the long hours and longer days that define this time of year. The bins are not just storage—they are milestones. Each one filled marks another chapter of effort, another step toward rest.

This image is a tribute to the quiet resilience of farmers. To the urgency of shortening days. To the labor that feeds the world, often unnoticed, always essential.

It’s about more than grain—it’s about grit. The kind that endures until the last bushel is brought in and the land exhales.
