Description
Autumn, a time of vivid foliage, roasted chestnuts, fresh baked apple pie and the smell of turkey wafting from the oven. It's also a time of hard work gathering up the bounty of what Mother Nature has provided. Lost to an age of mechanical combines, this central Pennsylvania Amish farm scene was typical a hundred years ago. Armed with a corn knife, corn shock tier and a ball of twine, corn stalks were cut above ground level, gathered in a bundle and tied together in shocks to dry. A farmer and his son would typically harvest 10 to 20 acres to feed and bed their livestock over the winter.
