My Dad grew up north of Charleston on a farm in Seven Hickory Township. When he was a young man, he joined the Merchant Marines and traveled all around the world. He told his granddaughter on many occasions that even though he had seen some of the most famous places in the world, there was nothing prettier than a cornfield in central Illinois. An old saying around these parts is that if the corn is knee-high by the Fourth of July then it was going to be a good crop in the fall. As you can see by this picture, the corn is "head high" on the Fourth of July! Guess it's going to be a bumper crop this year.

it won't be a bumper crop if the deer are in it!
