Extended it this yr. Runs all the way out to the fencerow at the far end. Couldn't get it all in the picture.....maybe 15-20' of field yet to the left of the camera.


It's coming along, hit it with urea 1 time, and 10-20-20 one time. Just pushing tassel's down in the whirl. This past weekend I sprayed it for the first time for corn borer's and earworms. Now that it's pushing tassel's that will be a weekly thing until it's into harvest time. Kind of a pain as I do it with a hand sprayer walking backwards with the sprayer on stream slowly going back and forth in an arc.

Should make a good bit of corn, I'm hoping so to reward my work, but also I'm counting on some of it to give me some gun money again this yr. (y) :grin:

Jim, that pic is deceiving because I'm up on a bank with the grass in the pic at ground level and the corn below it. The corn is actually around 5 ft tall in the rows and still growing in this hot weather. I don't like hot humid weather, but it does grow corn. (y)


 
very nice .



I think you must be close to me . let me know when the corn is ready .

I'll give you directions like people give me around here. You'll pass a big oak tree, then come down the road a ways and I'm on the left. You can't miss it. :lol:

Sent you a P.M.
