Farm Country


On our way to wine country in the Finger Lakes, we passed farm after farm. I thought this farm was picturesque, but what is more interesting is that when I looked around from this spot, there were at least a half-dozen farms within view. I keep forgetting that New York, as a state, is a large agricultural producer. It is, in fact, number 28 in the United States, in terms of agricultural income. But more importantly, it is beautiful country up here. It is such a joy to drive around and see fields with crops everywhere.
