A couple of years ago, my daughter-in-law, Lindsay, Instagrammed a photo she took at one of the local churches and it really says it all:

This is a season of great faith for the farmers who work the land. Faith that there will be enough sun, water, warmth; the right timing, correct fertilizer blends, enough hands to get the work done; that the sun, moon and plants align 'just so'. Faith that every night they get home safely to the farm and their families. Faith that their hard work and money will yield another crop. And it all starts with a tiny seed. A lot rests on it.
Last week, things finally dried up enough for work to start at Browntown Farms in the fields. I spent the afternoon on one of the tractors and put this together. Enjoy.
