Terry is planting the last field of hard-dent corn. 

Hard-dent corn is what is used for corn bread, corn meal/flour, cereal grains and grits for people food.  It is also the corn that is mixed into other grains to feed cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens.  Either white or yellow, dent kernals contain both hard and soft starch that become indented at maturity.   We plant yellow dent corn.

We do not plant sweet corn.  Sweet corn is primarily eaten on the cob, or it can be canned or frozen for future consumption.

Planting season is about to end.  The pinto beans will be planted in about two weeks.  Of course the work hasn’t ended.  Just the planting.  And only after the pinto beans get in the ground.

Suppose to snow here again.  Geez, what a mess this spring as been. I hope it goes around us, or stays in the mountains.
