The Harvesters Moon may come in September or October. The Harvesters Moon was given this name because farmers in the past relied on... Its lighting extends their working hours after sunset hours to prepare for the current season by plowing the land and scattering seeds before the rains, and therefore this moon was an awaited sight for farmers. It is also called the "Harvest Moon".
