Why Custom Stock Photos Are So Useful for Rural Businesses If you’ve ever tried to Google “photo of cow” and been bombarded by longhorns, Brahmas, and Holsteins, and not a single photo of your classy red angus ladies, or searched for a stock photo of wheat only to find out it’s actually barley (or rye, […]
