During harvest farmers may experience setbacks whether big or small.  For me, fall is the season I tend to look forward to the most. I have always been around to help during harvest. Whether that providing an extra hand to for working on machinery or as I got older I began pulling gravity wagons (full of soybeans to sell at the grain elevator) and then running the combine.

As we travel across the field, we see deer, birds, squirrels, but Annabell's favorite is the bunny rabbits. As soon as a Rabbit pops up Annabell gets excited and intensely watches where they go.
