Here was our conversation for all you folks who didn't know that corn turned brown when it's ready. <br />Shannon: " That's our corn in those fields." <br />Me: "Oh, gosh, what happened to it? It looks dead to me. It's all brown." <br />Shannon ( with a look of are you serious or kidding?) : "Are you kidding?"<br />Me: "Is it supposed to look like that?" <br />Shannon" "Angie, I thought you were kidding. Corn is supposed to look like that when it's ready. It has to die and dry out, otherwise we have to put it in the dryer and that costs a fortune cause we use propane tanks to dry it."<br />Me: "Please don't tell Landon or Jason I said that." <br /><br />Sunday at church. <br />Landon: "The corn died. It's all gone." ( smiling the whole time ) Then he proceeds to tell my FARMER husband what I said. Jason just shook his head at me. <br /><br />In my defense, Jason always tells me wrong stuff, like soybeans are really tobacco. <br /> The moral to this story is : NEVER TRUST A FARMER. HE'LL SELL YOU DEAD CORN. lol!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826688479038089411.post-10794459314888228812009-09-18T11:57:30.388-04:002009-09-18T11:57:30.388-04:00Every year, just down the street from us, some loc...Every year, just down the street from us, some locals have enough property to grow a corn field and pumpkin patch. <br /><br />We love to go visit and run through the corn maze. Their son designs it every year and it's tough to finish it in less than 45 minutes.<br /><br />That's about as close as we get to any kind of agricultural learning. (pretty sad, i know)<br /><br />I always think it's super cool that your boys are growing up learning all this essential stuff for America to keep running. <br /><br />What an experience for young boys!!!twin power mommy ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/12916993512099238211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826688479038089411.post-57071512851556362512009-09-17T09:15:32.633-04:002009-09-17T09:15:32.633-04:00We have never gotten a coupon.

Is the green underneath that brown?<br /><br />And now I feel like an idiot. But I'll bet there are things in my backyard you might not know too, right? Uh... maybe not. :)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185549963848472081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826688479038089411.post-80853498465395538342009-09-16T12:40:06.827-04:002009-09-16T12:40:06.827-04:00Wow, it's amazing how advanced farming has bec...Wow, it's amazing how advanced farming has become!
