Phil scheduled the corn plot harvest for Wednesday, Nov 19. It must have been the coldest plot day ever with being so late in November.
It is a slow afternoon as the combine dumps the load after just one pass through the field. The corn is weighed and tested for moisture before being dumped into a main wagon. Men from various seed companies are rallied to come help by the men from the County Extension office who keep the tallies.
Since our plot is sponsored by the Extension and not an individual seed company, the seed companies are interested in our results that aren’t biased.
Because we are thankful for their help, I provide snacks during their work time. This year I made cinnamon rolls. After all these years, they look forward to my homemade goodies. It seemed they were especially happy for the warm-and-fresh-from-the-oven rolls on the cold day!
A view from my window:
and sew on... 
Mmmmm … cinnamon rolls. Sounds yummy!
Love the pics of the combine in action! Makes me miss growing up in KS!!!
so, explain to me what this is? is it some sort of quality control check of the seeds you used? to see how good the corn is going to be??? I’m confused, but interested : )
All for you Heather… a new post! 😉
