Harvest & Berne, Indiana

Monday, September 20

Road Trip – Day 5 – Indiana to Ohio

 

 

Corn and soybean harvest was going strong as we traveled east on Monday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Acres and acres of empty fields mean these crops must be stored somewhere.

 

 

Grain bins are almost as plentiful as harvesting equipment.

 

 

 

 

As we worked our way to Route 30, I noticed that Berne, Indiana, was ahead of us. I told Cerwin, “I think that is Amish country.”

 

 

Shortly after arriving in Berne, we stopped at a McDonalds for a latte, and knew I was correct. This is the first time I ever saw a McDonalds with hitching post parking for Amish buggies!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We drove by many neat Amish farms – most with white buildings and laundry on the clothesline.

 

 

Windmills – another indication of an Amish farm.

 

 

…and of course the buggies. The ones in this area are built a bit differently than those in southeastern Pennsylvania.

 

 

 

 

I loved driving through this area.
