What can I say.....always glad when corn day is done :-). Karen Lynn plants 20-some rolls down by her turkey barns and then we try to help keep the patch clean, but life happens and with everyones best intentions the weeds take over :-(. But when the time comes to get the corn in we always have a good crop. We gather up as many of the guys we can to help us get it in the night before and start early the next morning, Janice is always kind enough to let us trash her place for the day, she has the perfect set up!!! The last 2 years we have borrowed a corn-washer-brusher machine that works wonders and cuts many hrs off our day. Grandma has one ordered for the Kemp family to use next year! Its a long but fun day and the kids have a ball.....We ended this year with 164 qts of corn....
