The spring wheat harvest was in June, and here I am posting a picture that shows part of it. The wheat is cut down and laid out in the middle of the road so that cars can drive over it and break down the different parts of the wheat. (Okay, I don't know any terms related to wheat, but I'll describe it the best I can). Then they use shovels to throw the wheat up in the air, and the usable and unusable parts separate. Then they lay the usable part on the side of the road (to dry maybe?) and then scoop it up along with rocks and dirt into bags to sell. I can't really tell you what these farmers are doing with their little air-polluting contraption, but it looks like something Granny Clampett might enjoy working with. In the countryside, every road in every direction was covered in wheat for a full week, maybe longer. In the city we saw no such thing, but it was kind of funny seeing BWM's driving through the city with straw sticking out from the bottom...there was no mistaking that they had been out in the countryside during the day! Hey, check out those farmers' hats...aren't they cute?!
