A Calm Scarecrow Wearing a Wide-Brimmed Hat
Farmers have used scarecrows for generations to protect crops during harvest season. This figure stands calmly with a large, cheerful face, wearing a patched shirt and a wide-brimmed hat.
The History and Purpose of Scarecrows
The earliest recorded scarecrows were used by ancient Greek and Roman farmers to ward off birds from vineyards and grain fields. In North America, indigenous farmers planted corn, beans, and squash together and placed wooden frames in the fields to deter hungry crows.
