Maine Potato Harvest

I spent a couple of weeks grabbing a few shots when I could of the potato harvest in our area. I look forward to next harvest and being able to capture many more images featuring our Aroostook County Cash Crop

The tradition of harvest break has spanned multiple generations and is a tradition that has been slowing fading in the last 20 years. There was a time not long ago called the 90's and every school in Aroostook County was dismissed for 3 weeks.

The USDA has made Aroostook farmers and those in adjacent counties, eligible for emergency funding.
