Seriously...
I take it that your Nebraska "from" and reference to the Iowa track (I don't have a map) probably means you are somewhere on the Nebraska/Iowa border (not necessarily Omaha).
You have some wonderful photo opportunity places near you. True, corn and soy bean fields aren't all that interesting.
Go down by the Missouri River to a park. If close to Omaha go down to the old paddle wheel boat park (it's between Omaha and Sioux City, I can't remember the name of it).
I was born in Sioux City (Iowa) and raised in North Sioux City/Jefferson (South Dakota) and have MANY photos along that corridor.
It'll be spring pretty soon so you should be able to find some flowering trees. Another thought: Find an apple orchard near Mondamin.
Also, consider a different angle for taking the photo for publication. All of mine are taken pretty much on my knees (everyone can tell when I've been out because of the dirt on the knees of my jeans). I took some from a stepladder of my Snake and Stallion (Cobra and Mustang) and I still like the ones from ground level better. Compare and contrast:
Taken from the ladder
Normal standing height
Taken kneeling:
Close to front, kneeling
