We picked 850 ears of corn this morning. 250 ears as a thank you to a neighbor who allows us to farm 5 acres of his land. 100 ears in trade for a tube for the tire of my Super H. And 500 ears were sold, at $14 a 100.
We still have a few hundred to pick, we have a couple more customers and I plan to do more for my freezer yet too, but that can wait until tomorrow!
We had a good system. Dan and I picked, Nate held he feed bags for us to pick into. Matt drove the lawnmower with wagon back and forth, picking up the corn we picked and taking it to the front yard, where Meg and Luke counted it into piles of 50. Then they all bagged it for the individual customers while I made breakfast. A pretty productive morning, if I do say so myself!
