Corn

A precious little boy professing his love for corn is currently winning the hearts of the collective internet.

How do you eat corn on the cob - butter or no butter?

Minnesota Commodity Broker Gordy Kralovetz said the latest grain market action just does not "add up" given the weather and how tight grain stocks are.

You would have to agree it is a little unusual to see a layer of corn spread out evenly on railroad tracks. When I saw the picture I had a pretty good idea of what happened and how the corn was spilled.

You might think that this is a fake picture of Minnesota train tracks filled with corn... but it has been confirmed that you can go see it with your own two eyes.

Tuesday afternoon when I was out to the farm I took this picture. I admit it looks a little strange. Why would there be corn growing in a lawn? Early in the spring when I am getting the planter ready I always like to check out the monitor. You do not want to wait until you start planting corn because if there is a problem it might take a few days to get it fixed...

The past couple of weekends I took advantage of the nice weather to haul corn. I had some hedges in December I rolled to March and recently fixed the basis. I have a neighbor just down the road three-quarters of a mile who needs to buy corn for their hog operation...

Wednesday afternoon I was hauling beans to the elevator and they had a crew there picking up their corn pile. There was a lot of corn piled outside this fall in Minnesota because we had a very good crop. It is not unusual to see a pile of corn by an elevator for a short time in the fall...

Late last week, Stephen came home from Pittsburgh for a few days. He wanted to go out to the farm and see grandpa and grandma. He also wanted to see the crops as he spent a lot of time driving tractor growing up. He and grandpa took the Gator and drove to all the farms...

Last Saturday I went out to the farm to check the crops and get the planter ready to plant beans. My peas should be harvested around the fifth of July and, weather permitting, I am going to plant beans and hope for the best. It is getting late to plant beans, but I am going to try anyway...
