It's interesting they were picking corn on January 12! I wonder if it was a mild winter or if there's something about picking corn (perhaps dried) that I don't know about. Well, as a matter of fact, I don't really know much about picking corn, just thought it was done in July and August, for fresh corn, and in the fall after the corn had dried on the stalk, for field corn.
Hi Nancy, Yes I find that interesting as well. My thoughts are perhaps it was feed corn for animals left in the fields?
