Peter and I came home on Tuesday to a strange sight. Mr. Harnish had begun to harvest his own crops. The fields in front of us were harvested using a chopper which takes all the corn and stalks and grinds it up for cattle feed. The fields behind us were harvested using a combine. This machine grinds the stalks and only saves the kernels. The waste is kicked back onto the land and a machine will come by and later bale the discard into hay. Corn kernels are put into grain bins for storage, and dried for excess moisture.
