Ever wondered where brooms come from? OK, so you haven't but if you would like to see the first step come out to the farm. This year we are trying out hand at growing broom corn. This plant looks a lot like regular field corn but instead of building a ear with the seed enclosed the broom corn puts the seed at the end of the long strands that come out of the top. To get the bristles for brooms we will cut the top of the corn plant off and dry it. I will keep you posted as we move to step two.
