Summary

Farmland seen from an airliner. The circles you can see are irrigated crops being grown, they are called 'Pivots'.

Centre-pivot irrigation (sometimes called central pivot irrigation), also called circle irrigation, is a method of crop irrigation in which equipment rotates around a pivot.  A circular area centered on the pivot is irrigated, often creating a circular pattern in crops when viewed from above.
