On Beans

     Autumn is rapidly approaching, and with it comes the next harvest here in Owyhee County.

     Though they were one of the latest crops to be planted, beans are ripening well before many others.

     When the leaves dry up and fall off, it's the beans way of saying: "I'm done."

     These plants are full of pods that are full of beans. They're drying, but they don't come out yet. Beans are cut with a special implement and then put into windrows.

     Like so, but I'm going to leave that post until Monday. Have a nice weekend everyone!
