He Planted Late Sweet Corn When Every Field Was Done — The County Laughed Until the State Fair

He Planted Late Sweet Corn When Every Field Was Done — The County Laughed Until the State Fair The morning I decided to plant the south slope was a Tuesday in late July of 1993. I remember the air was so thick you could taste the dust from the county road a mile away, and the heat hadn't broken from the day before. #TheQuietFarmer #HeirloomCorn #SeedContest #CountyFair #OpenPollinated #OldFarmTales
