Corn as it should be:

Corn...that makes you wince to look at.

Someone on this board asked earlier if you could plant corn in CT at the end of June. This is basically what you get...maybe even a week into July? This stuff is "V-4" with four leaves showing, behind me up the road some of it's still V-2 with only two leaves up.

Shame is it's a really big field for our area -- a good 80 acres, maybe pushing 100.

I have to assume their first planting got drowned by rain and this is the recover-what-you-can planting

Yeah. I planted corn one year the 4th of July. It got about knee high and put ears on. Beats a snowbank any day for cow feed. Corn here is burning up. I'll get a pic this weekend.

If they had crop insurance,they might be required to attempt to get a crop to collect on their premiums.

Interesting...

That could be part of it.

All the corn here is for silage, so they'll get something -- just probably lot lower quantity and feed quality.

Of course, knowing the weather we'll get whacked by a Hurricane in two weeks and all the standing corn will get blown down and this short stuff will grow unaffected :)

I think when they sang about "Corn thats as high as an elephant's eye" in the musical "Oklahoma", they were assuming the elephant was standing up. . . That is sad- someone is losing a bundle on that deal.
