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. |
