This post includes four more weeks of progress in the cornfield. Not all of the photos were taken on Sunday mornings as we've been out of town occasionally lately. The corn should continue to dry regardless of the weather at this point, although you might notice the yard is slightly greener on September 22 thanks to the heaviest rain we've had in months -- a whole half inch!

Not only have the stalks dried noticeably in the last four weeks, but the ears filled out nicely and are drying as we speak. If you click on the photos you can see them enlarged further and can more easily spot some big yellow kernels on some of the ears whose husks have receded. I don't know which corn hybrid Farmer Wagenbach planted this year, but it looks like harvest isn't too far away. Thanks for visiting!
