Harvest Time

Throughout history, autumn and harvest time has always been one of the most exciting times of the year. A deep connection to people and the land that produces crops is still present today. At harvest time on the farm, we celebrate the rich history of past and the unfolding of a season. During the harvest season on the farm, we collect peanuts, corn, and cotton from the fields. First, the corn harvested. Beautiful fields of amber golden stalks are cut and corn is gathered in the combine. Next, the peanuts are dug from the earth leaving a rich smell of dirt wafting in the air. The peanuts are combined and then sent off to be dried out. Last, the cotton picker flows through the fields of beautiful fluffy white fields of cotton. As bales fill the snow like covered fields, the harvest slowly comes to an end. As the last bales begin to take form, we give thanks to God for the rich beauty of the earth and the crops that abound. Harvest is a delicate process that leaves the farm family in awe of the majestic process of growth, harvest, and renewal of the earth.
