Corn Be Gone..........


The corn has been picked.  The debris that is left includes corn cobs and torn up dried stalks.  It looked like they had received a very good harvest with so many cobs laying on the ground this year.  The variety put out one big ear per stalk rather than the two ears of the past that were medium sized and one other very small. Maybe the variety was planted thicker so there would be more stalks per acre.


Our grass is still very green and the ground under them while they picked was damp.  It caused the big tractors to leave large tire indentations in the soil.   A farm boy at school said that they were planning to not disc up the soil in the fall this year as it is just too wet.  It will mean they have to do it in the spring before they can plant it.  This making the planting a longer process than normal.

The perspective of the first image is interesting. I now see that they're old corn stalks cut down but at first glance, I thought it was hay forming the shape of steps.
