Corn

Seed corn does not look good to eat, of course, not to a human. But there is something attractive to the eye that I do not see in sweet corn. Oh, yes, the sweet corn looks brighter, more plump and tasty, more uniform in the ranks. But these, stacked and piled where they are tossed, have an individuality that is, as I noted, quite attractive to the eye.

Farmers

Today we see two more farmers, dressed in the style of the 1890s and assisting visitors to Kline Creek Farm for the annual Corn Harvest.

Kline Creek Corn Harvest

A sunny day in October brought me to the excellent Kline Creek Farm where folks were harvesting corn in the style of the 1890s. Quite a few people turned out to pull cobs of seed corn off the plants and load them into wagons for the farm animals. Others cut the stalks and stacked them into traditional signs of fall.

Our first two images are of a sad-fated cob that never made it to the wagon and one of the period-dressed farmers working the event.
