Baby Cottontail saved from balers in massive Coburg harvest 2016-06-24 - Coburg, KY - Photo by Connie Stotts. As huge combines rolled through the Stotts Farm at Coburg, KY, Joe Loy, noticed this baby cottontailand rescued it. He took it to a fence row and released the bunny to the wilds. His employer, Junior Stotts, remembers his own childhood in the fifties and the economic impact of rabbits for food. "Squirrels were good," he said, "but rabbits saved lives." It was a time, he said, when enterprising hunters and trappers could always find a buyer to there catches, too. The usual fee for a two pound wild rabbit, on foot, was 25¢ per - and they weren't hard to sell. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Harvest time in Coburg II - Pretty bales all in arow 2016-06-24 - Coburg, KY - Photo by Junior Stotts. Despite all the talk of commercial development in Coburg, KY, agriculture remains dominant in the little community. Yesterday was a major harvest time at the Stotts Farms - the crop was straw, a useful by-product of cereal grain crops - including livestock bedding and as a mulch in landscaping and reseeding operations. The busy Adair County Company uses some of the straw reseeding the paths of newly installed water lines. Over 2000 square bales were put in the barns yesterday. Over 100 big round rolls were baled.
