Corn


Corn
Originally uploaded by John & Katie
Time to start picking a little corn...... And a little is all that got picked that day...... At this time we have all the beans out of the fields. And maybe a little over a third of the corn. Corn is going slow since it has to be dried down to store in bins...... Late planting and a cool wet summer didn't give mother nature a chance to finish her job...........Now if we could just get the rain to hold off for a few more weeks...........
