About Dayphoto

My name is Linda Brown. I live on a farm on the western slope of Colorado, in the high mountain desert. I’ve lived here all my life, hailing back four generations on my father’s side. Today I blog about our farm, the everyday activities that keep the farm going. I also write about my thoughts and dreams and goals. On Friday’s I always write about TLC Cai-Cai. Our sweet kitty who helps keep the farm safe. And Boo Berry Betty, a breeder dog learning to be a Farm Dog! The lovely thing about blogging it opens the world up for all of us to reach out and meet people from many different cultures and different ways of life. You can find me every day (but Saturday) at https://coloradofarmlife.wordpress.com/ Your Friend on a Western Colorado Farm, Linda Brown

The Corn is Dented—Which Means the corn is ripe

See the little dents in the kernel?  This means the corn has made, and is ripe.  You could water the field forever, at this point, and the plant would not take up anymore water.  Irrigation has now stopped on all three fields of corn.  Gradually the stalks will dry, turning a golden color.  We will wait to harvest until the moisture in the plant, the ear, and each kernel reaches a certain moisture point.  Summer is ending, harvest is upon us!
