Harvest time

Nick and Austin were excited about the corn field across the road. We went over and borrowed a couple of ears from the Waddingtons. Nick was asking if he could eat this corn. We can but it must be processed first. He thought it was sweet corn like his mama fixes for supper. The corn is planted in April as soon as it is safe from frost. The farmers hope they get enough rain to make it grow. Most corns are hybrids, that makes them drought resistant, produce large ears and other things. They make many things out of corn. Even make gasoline to run our cars. We grow alot of corn and beans in Illinois. Below are some pictures. My Dad along with both of my grandparents were farmers.
