We haven’t made it down to The Farm nearly enough this year, so I’m especially grateful for occasional photo updates from Hoosier Outsider.
The below photo is of the soybean harvest. With this snapshot comes some family farm history that I’d never heard before.
Dad says that for decades, our farm’s largest field down by the mighty Mississinewa was the source of the best hay to be found.
Farmers nicknamed it “Horse Heaven.” I’ve only seen photos and slides of the property back when my grandfather – a gentleman farmer – raised sheep when he wasn’t running his pharmacy.
Those sheep kept the whole landscape finely manicured. Would love to get my hands on some of those pix.
