    May affect us, when the rain starts, it is a bit late for the corn but hte beans could use a little so could my trees. Pretty close to drought(sp?) here.

    Actually right now when the corn is shooting tassle is the MOST important time for the corn. It allows pollen to flow through the crop better.

    Pollen doesn't matter when there aren't any ears.

    hmm, well there can't be ears with out tassles and tassles with out ears. Cause thousands of little tubes run from tassle to the ear.

    Where ya at? Come my way and I'll be happy to show you some. Infact I just got back from lunch and there is a field right down the road. Short, tassled, no ears, I did see some fields with stalks that only have one ear too. So really at this point for corn the rain is to late. Sure rain is good to help pollinate but for growth and production we a bit late in the year for that.
    Sittin in the neighbors shop two days ago with two other farmers who said the same. It is too late in our area for the corn.

    Let me edit this and say if there are ears on the stalks they are okra or smaller.

    The only thing I know about corn is ya put salt and butter on it and eat it. oh yea deer like it.[:D]

    Buckey your silly. [:D] Butter and salt sure is good on it though. [;)]

    Bang, corn around here in Ohio may produce some, but it's gonna be a low volume year that's for sure. Right now it's just starting to run outa moisture, looks like it'll start pollinating in the next 2 weeks. We were lucky enough to be under knee high by the 4th of July. [;)]

    I got some banna peppers, yellow bell peppers, and tomatoes just about ready, 1-2 days and the tomatoe will be ripe. Need me to send you my very first ones? The banna's are mild, got the hot ones on the other side of the barn, they are sucking so far. [xx(]

    Near miss for me. I was only about 80 miles form where the eye made land fall. But the hurricane had such a small area of hurrican force winds all we got was a little rain from it. I am very thankful. I hate it for the folks in the Pensacola, FL area. This is the second thime thewy have been hit in 10 months.
    Everyone dowe south still needs to keep there gaurd up. There is another tropical depresion coming across the Atlantic. Should be close to the Gulf by Sunday. I still have the boards up on my windows. And I am going to leave them up until this other storm passes.
