Summer - In summer the farms in Lancaster County look like a patchwork quilt with fields of tobacco next to fields of corn, wheat or even soybeans. Summer is traditionally very hot and humid with periods of rain making it perfect for good crop production. Summer runs from the March Equinox to the June Equinox. This photo was taken on Wiindy Tor Road which is directly off of Snake Hill Road. If you notice, there are no electrical lines running to the farm, since it is an Amish farm and they do not believe in any form of technology that connects them to the outside world. Fields of corn are beginning to show tassels which means the ears are developing. The lower field in the foreground may be filled with soybean plants, but from my photo is hard to determine. The farm has double silos which hold the feed for the livestock on the farm. on the far right of the photo you can see a line of clothes drying in the summer air. Amish usually have a pulley system for their washlines. |
