I loved these two photos from FaceBook; thought I would share them with you. The header and this one.
Still no corn harvest…Terry will check tomorrow to see where the corn moisture is…he and I are hoping with all this cold the corn has dried it down enough we can begin. What a strange, strange year for harvesting.
Hope you have a good one today!

Here’s hoping! When that corn has finally dried enough, and is harvested, to what uses will it be put?

Our corn is the kind of corn used in corn flakes, corn meal, and animal feed. Other types of food for hoomans…

At least it is so cold you won’t have to worry about mold and mildew. Best wishes for a good harvest–soon.

True. But the wind is knocking everything down and the deer are having a field day…….

Sorry to hear that you still haven’t started the corn harvest. I would imagine that to be very frustrating.

It’s a weird weather year all around. We’ve gone for a long, long, long time in Milan with no rain at all. And we spent Christmas in France which is normally cold, but was abnormally warm. Disturbing.

Boy I hope it does happen this year. It’s not just your livelihood – I bet the ones depending on this corn are suffering, too.

Of course not. But its economy-wrecking, isn’t it? Even for your … oh I forgot the right word! The place that accepts your harvest. They are hurting, too, even if they are the ones setting the rules they know they have to or it will rot.

…Or, as we say Down Under, “Have a goody”! Fingers crossed the corn has dried enough. Our rain has dried up for a couple of days, but it’ll be back…

That is NOT the news I wanted to read.
Only two days left – I think 2015 in the crop “stakes”
has not been the kindest of harvest years for you and Terry.
I can well imagine the deer having a field day – just like the
kangaroos here – not only crop eating but fence busting.
Every time I shovel cornflakes down my throat at breakfast,
I will think of your 2015 corn harvest and not happily.
Good luck
Colin
PS: Still here in Brisbane – “Spring like weather” and good drenching
rain from cyclones in the north out west for the rural communities
who are “whooping” up their good fortune – albeit some are flood bound.

Pretty photos, Linda. I would think as cold as it has been that the corn would be dry for sure ~ But then again…
Just hope it’s a good harvest whenever it finally happens!

We have ice since saturday,thank goodness no schools so makes traffic less. We have not been out , maybe in couple days…..Linda are there other farmers that have not cut their corn around you.? This may be the straw that makes this your last year like Terry was talking about. Wish you the best. Harry and Sharon Drake…… also all of you folks that write to Linda I wish you all a great year.

Everyone here is in the same boat…no one has been able to harvest. Although, a few loads of high-moisture corn has gone down to the elevator (they only want it if they call) for animal feed. Still we wait.
