Aug 15

I am a week late posting these photos. We picked and processed corn on Friday the 15th. We averaged 95 ears per 75 foot row of corn for a total of around 760 ears from 8 rows. This was the first planting of four. We gave a lot away but ended up freezing around 50 quarts. It was a few days early, but I was going to be out of town when it was at its peak. It is better to have young corn them old corn.

Here are the field hands ready to work.
Old MacCaleb had a farm.....

Hannah is actually taller than the corn.

Here is how we kept track of how much corn we picked, and yes that is a roll of TP.
Self portrait--it is a Rachel thing.
It doesn't look like much but there are over 600 ears in the back of the truck. Final count was 762 ears of corn, about 63 dozen.
