Here's what's left of the field corn after a long and hard winter in Holmes County. This is the bottom third of a double corn crib, and I'd guess that this family stored just about the right amount of crop for the livestock to be fed through the winter and spring. On a modern and mechanized farm in the heartland, this would not represent a significant amount of corn. But when you consider the labor that was necessary to harvest this corn by hand last autumn, it is a very significant amount indeed.Labels: Amish, Amish Country, Amish Culture, Amish Photographs, Amish-Country Mysteries, Holmes County, P.
