Lancaster County Traffic Jam!

Lancaster County has a long history of farming and a long list of producing savory fruits and vegetables. Driving the backroads one can come across a wide variety of scenes that play out on a regular basis. This particular day I was heading home and as I approached this S-curve in the road I pulled over to figure out what was coming up the road in the distance. As you can see it was an Amish buggy that was dictating the pace for this harvesting team consisting of a large tractor that was pulling a large grain bin and behind that was a Combine and they both were headed to their next job. I was hoping they were going to pass the buggy and I could get the small buggy right beside the massive machines but they were taking it easy, probably because they saw the camera ahead. Harvesting has certainly changed a bit around here and what used to be a family affair out on the wagons has switched to hiring these crews that come in and harvest huge fields in very little time compared to the old way.
