Harvest season calls me home. There’s something alluring about working on the farm in the crisp autumn air. Waking up to the steady hum of the grain bin fans. Watching the setting sun transform the corn crop into a golden sea of stalks and husks.
There’s also a silent satisfaction in being a part of the choreographed chaos. Whether it’s sweeping out bins, transporting grain from here to there, relocating equipment from one field to the next, or being at the helm of it all – in the combine – fall farming has a way of making a person feel their hard work has somehow contributed to something greater, something beyond the field.
In an effort to capture the splendor of being home for harvest, I’ve prepared a photo essay showcasing the images I’ve collected throughout the month of October. I’ve selected 31 striking pictures to summarize my weekends spent on the farm.
