This upcoming weekend is our big Corn Harvest event. To put on a show about corn you can imagine what the main ingredient would be, corn. So what do you do when the acre of corn you planted as been invaded by our winged friends to the point where there is no longer any ears of corn? You import. How sad is that? On Wednesday I had Jeff call Horchers and put in an order for 400 bundles of corn stalks. I walked that field from one end to the other and there were only two ears in the whole field that resembled what could be called an complete ear. I knew it was bad when every time a school bus rolled into the bus turn-a-round the field came to life and looked like the movie "The Birds". I even saw the semi-domestic Canadian geese fly into the stalks and knock them down just to get to the ears. To be fair to the birds I'm sure the coons and the deer have done their fair share of damage too. The thing is when you have the only acre of corn in a 15 + mile radius it just screams - Dinner is served!
