Picture of the Day for October 20, 2015

On the weekend, I saw a lot of big equipment harvesting corn and it seems like the machinery gets bigger and bigger each year. But here and there, you can see some corn harvesting methods like what my mom would have done when she was young. By taking bundle of cornstalks, and stacking in a teepee-style pile, the corn shocks allow the ears of corn to dry more until it can be stored without spoiling.
