Ice Age Litter

The glaciers scoured all the loose rocks from Canada and dragged them to the Coast of Maine.

The glaciers came to Maine for vacation

Leaving litter when they were done

Between the frost and the plow

It’s still surfacing now

And we harvest the rocks by the ton.

The buried rocks are forced to the surface when the ground freezes and thaws, especially if the soil has been loosened by a plow.  A reliable crop, they can be harvested every year.

Farming in Maine is hard toil

The glaciers took all of our top soil

But rocks grow easily

They are calorie free

Drought tolerant, frost proof, and don’t spoil.
