The Farming Report 8/21

Hello to all!!!! :) Soory this is so late! I Can't believe it, another school year has started today. (Layla is in 11th grade, WOW) Anyway I hope school won't change our sceduale to much! ;) So here is this weeks How We Do It On The Farm!

(P.S. If you didn't read how we sort tomatoes from last week, this is the link.)

 

Picking Sweet corn

 

When We come to work we are greeted by the farm dog (Or mascot as we like to call her) Poco! 

 

 

We drive out to the field in the pick up.

 

And start down the rows.

 

We look for ears that look like this.

 

And put them in out crates. 26 ears to a crate.

 

Then we dump them into bed of the pick up.

Here is a side veiw of the crates.

 

This counter keeps track of how many dumps we put in the truck. One click for ever 2 doz. (So there is really 10 doz. in the truck right now. :)

 

Here is the front of the truck.

 

And the side.

 

When the truck is loaded someone goes to sell the corn. We will look at that next week.
