Farming NH style

On our way home from our latest adventure, we passed by some farm land. I thought you might be interested to see some farming NH style. So, we pulled off the side of the road, and started shooting. The scenery was awesome, as always, but I remember how difficult farming can be here. You see, the growing season is very short. Usually the last frost may as late as the end of May or Early June. Then by the end of September or the first of October, the temperatures dip below freezing again. The ground is rough and often rocky and sometimes the spaces to put crops can be pretty small. The picture of the farm you see here, the corn field is about 5 acres. Compared to what is in Kansas, this seems small. But this is a good size plot for New Hampshire. While I was taking pictures, I noticed I was being watched. When I turned to look, I saw this big horse playing peek a boo from behind the shed. So, I turned to take pictures. And of course, he decided to come see what I was up to. He was a big draft horse and not in too much of a hurry. He reminded me of Mr Ed. When we went by later on, there was a few more out there with him. They were being trained to pull a wagon and a sleigh, in preparation for the winter. Another fun adventure.
