Harvest Time in Bluff Country

It's mid to late fall here in southeast Minnesota's Bluff Country and there's lots of corn and soybeans to be harvested. Our little acreage over looks the Spring Valley in the distance the town of the same name. In between our back yard and the valley some small field including 14 acres of "beans."....  Take a look....
To the North, our woods, adjacent to the field.
Our friend and neighbor farmer Dick is probably scouting ahead the big machinery making sure everything else is ready to go....
View from our back yard...
From hopper to bin then off to the elevator....
 
 
Miss Lily comes out to check out the excitement but she's seen it all before and chasing the chipmunk who lives under the deck is much more exciting.

Like the view from Ann's back yard, except her neighbor harvests Wisconsin corn.

Yes, it is harvest time in Virginia too. It gives me a secure feeling when I see productive farms.

Harvest in. Thanksgiving around the corner.

These are such lovely scenes. I came home last week to find the field of soybeans behind my woods had been harvested. I thought it was a little late, but I guess this must have been the time to do that. The winter cold will be coming soon.

Our farmers had a wide open time period to get their crops in. Most of them got their crops in very early this year.
