Autumn's Bounty

Autumn's bounty now waits in the fields. Sowers and keepers of the crops are Now replaced by energetic reapers. Dry and ready for the combine; Brown and ripe for the harvesting; The corn to feed the world; The soybeans to ease hunger; Cotton to cloth all mankind. Like a kid fixated in wonderment, I stop and stare along the roadside; Observing massive machines of steel, Rolling along the dusty fields, Cutting and threshing and separating the seed from the hull; corn from cobs. The big rigs are loaded and heading to the storage bends and buyers. 091622PS
