(Unfortunate) corn pick from Massachusetts

Worcester Telegram & Gazette 9/27/06
Richard W. Kimball of Spencer inspects damage to a cornfield that he farms in Brookfield and North Brookfield. Mr. Kimball estimates that 35 tons of corn, with a value of $25 per ton, were flattened and lost.

Short article went with it -- he leases a bunch of small fields around his area and has had several vandalized this year.

BTW - that corn sure is GREEN for late September - stuff is brown and drying out around here. Harvest isn't to far off.

You'll see a few fields left to go brown and harvested around Halloween or a little later (flirting with an early snowstorm...). But that stuff it's my understanding is for the guys who still use their Harvestores.

We have a lot of woods and open ground owned by absentee landlords around us so there are a lot of trails all around the farm. It's pretty well known by the locals they are not allowed to ride on any of my property and it has been that way for a long time. The neighborhood kids are good about respecting my property rights but we still get some non locals tresspassing a few times each year and a lot of times it isn't kids. I can't be everywhere all the time.

Don't get me started.

The only other thing that warms my heart as much, is concreting the inside of the mailbox and then mowing lawn the next week to find bent aluminum bats 10 yards away in the ditch.

Ahhh it is true...revenge is best served cold!
