Because of the cool summer, the corn here was slow to mature. Then we got a
very damp October, so it didn't dry naturally. It's expensive to dry the
corn using lp gas, so many farmers here left the corn standing, hoping it
would dry in the fields. Then the big snows came. Apparently it's settled
enough for the combines to get through.
I've seen downy woodpeckers working ears of corn in the field.

I'm sure many of you have noticed how much corn was left standing this fall
and into the winter. Well today I observed one field being combined! Never
thought I'd witness a harvest in the snow.
The lone pheasant in the backyard would love some of that.
