Bean harvest

During harvest, beans are bundled together by their stalks in their pods. They get to hang on the corn stalks. One plant provides a hook for the other one to dry on. Together, the beans
and the corn dry out and wait to be stored for the winter. This way you save on barn building and carrying, but you put a lot
of trust in God and His weather. Hopefully no rain will come in these days. Rain, sun and plagues permitting, an acre of corn and half an acre of beans will feed a family through the dry season and into the next harvest. But nature really has to cooperate, and the farmer depends on this.
