Tater Tales June 26th: A River Runs Through It

To quote a famous author “A River Runs Through It.” And let me tell you, there is NOT supposed to be a river running through our sweet corn fields.  Our fields here are generally very sandy and drain quite well. But this summer there has been too much rain for our fields to handle.  As you can see from these pictures, water is rushing from the forests and pooling in the fields.  Hopefully the rain will cease, the fields will dry up and the little sweet corn plants won’t drown.  To see a video of RJ planting sweet corn in the extremely dry conditions of the summer of 2016 you can visit “Sweet Corn – Coming Soon!”
