As to Zen's "waving wheat field" to make up for the barren look, does this look any better, or is it too "busy" now?

It would look better if the "wheat" icon placements conformed to the darker shadings within those provinces. Alternatively, if you shaded the area beneath the wheat in the same color/tone as the wheat and then smoothed/blended that into the rest of the province's barren tone. A lot more work, of course.
