In the fall, we see the field corn drying in the fields. As you walk by, the breeze gently rustles the dry leaves making them seem to whisper in a scratchy voice.
Farmers grow the corn for their animal's winter feed.
After it is dry, they harvest it using giant machines. As the corn grows taller all summer, it blocks the views along the roads. It can begin to feel like you are driving down a tunnel. It is a pleasant surprise to come out the day after the corn is harvested and have the big views of fields again. Another important crop in Lancaster County is tobacco.
