And so after a spur of the moment, last minute mini getaway… we headed home. Wishing we could stay longer and see Vermont’s foliage at its peak.

Leaving the little town of Jeffersonville we passed what’s become a landmark.

An artfully painted silo celebrating the area’s agricultural roots.

We said goodbye to cows. (Alright, that was me. The husband grew up milking them and couldn’t care less)
.

Did I mention there are a lot of cows in Vermont?
.
.
There’s also a lot of corn.
.
.
So much corn.
.
.
Seriously, the stuff is everywhere.

River's world..... 
Like when Jimmy James moved to New Hampshire and spent his retirement surrounded by cows.

We all said we had to be quiet virtual travelers or else you’d never take us along again. We aim to please 😆

Vermont — green mountain in French. Very true. But maybe should have been Vachemont — mountain of cows.

Harumph! That either be milo or sorghum. Cattle feed. Corn grown in Kansas …

Pretty sure it’s corn, though they do feed it to cattle.
From the state agricultural page –
“Vermont farmers grew 80,000 acres of corn at 19 tons per acre. Much of it was stored in silage bunkers.”

Sure looks like milo/sorghum to me. It is sort of a corn plant, but doesn’t grow ears.

Could be, I’m certainly no expert. But they do grow a lot of corn in Vermont. I know, because there are mazes everywhere.

I would have definitely said Goodbye to the cows too. Actually, maybe I did. You just didn’t hear me.

Cows and corn? Vermont might as well be called East Wisconsin.
