I'd just finished a short winter hike with my four youngest dogs in the Brasher State Forest and was on my way to find the small town of Bombay, New York. I passed by some Amish farms where the corn was shocked (stacked in bundles). This was to keep the ears off the ground to allow them to dry for storage:
And right down the road was a large, modern farm with a sizable barn and silos:
And as I passed by this barn I discovered that it was bigger than I had at first realized:
And there were concrete bunker silos and feed bins:

The houses grew closer together as I apparently approached the center of town:
I didn't see any grand homes but lots of bungalows, modular homes and older, two story frame houses:
Most houses were built close to the road, a wise thing in snow country on a County road:
