The almost unprecedented sight of harvesting corn crops in January was seen in Lincolnshire on Saturday. Several fields of wheat, barley, and oats in the Branston Fen have been sold by auction as they stood in the fields.. A Heckington miller purchased the cropping, and the frozen condition of the land enabled him to use the reaper with such effect that the bulk of the corn was gathered in on Saturday. It is proposed to celebrate the novel event with a large harvest supper to the men engaged in the unseasonable work.
