As you sit and look out into a field of crops, it is almost serene how they all just blend together at a certain angle. Almost as if it is one plant that spreads over the entire field. The rows appear as you get closer making you have the need to explore it further.

It you have ever been in a field full of crops, whether it is planting or harvesting season, you will see that they are planted in rows rather than randomly placed. This is to help make it easier for the farmers to harvest the plants when it is time.

Cotton plants almost look as if they are dead when they are growing and harvested. Once the cotton starts to fall off of the plant, this is an indication that the plant is ready to be harvested.

WIth the winter coming in and the air getting cold, many crops cannot survive the frigid weather that rolls through in northern Mississippi. With the temperatures getting bellow freezing at some points, many farmers cannot plant their crops. If they do, those crops will most likely die and it will be a waste of their time and money. 

Even surrounded by the death or harvest of these crops, the grass is still green and healthy even in the "dead" season.

Many farmers will plant a row of crops in the side of the road to essentially hide their field. This gives the field a sense of pricavy making it more difficult for random people to have access to it. Rather than putting a fence around it, these crops are a makeshift fence that can still be harvested at the end of the year.
