The hot and humid days have been replaced with brisk mornings and crisp evenings, perfect hoodie weather. Pumpkin flavored everything, flannel and apples suddenly appear on top of everybody\u2019s seasonal wish list. The shorter days due to the change of season signals the corn stalk to turn brown and the trees and soybean plants to lose their leaves. For us, this means it is time to Harvest our crops. <\/p>\n
Merriam-Webster dictionary defines \u201charvest\u201d as the act or process of gathering in a crop. On our farm, we harvest two major agriculture commodities in the fall: corn and soybeans. In the spring, we planted the seeds and hoped they would grow. We actively monitored their progress and protected the plants from bugs, weeds and disease. Now, it is time for us to Harvest a bountiful crop (hopefully) and close the chapter on another successful growing season. <\/p>\n
