Bringing in the Harvest in South Grant County
Rodrigo Montoya pulls a rod weeder with his John Deere to separate onions from the soil on a farm a couple of miles east of Royal City in preparation for loading onto trucks.
SOUTH COUNTY - Grant County is one of the most productive counties in all of the U.S. in terms of agriculture.
South County alone, comprised mainly of the Wahluke and Royal Slopes, is a sight for those who appreciate growing things and the work of man. Not to mention food on the table.
If you haven't done so in a while, you might plan a Sunday drive - any day, of course - through both areas. You'll appreciate what man and nature together have done this year.
The harvests are in full swing now. Here, in pictures, is a bit of the activity.
