Knee high by the 1st of July…

The old saying that a good crop of corn should be knee high by the 1st of July is a good rule of thumb.  Last year, the corn wasn’t quite knee high by July, and it ended up being a poorer quality, late maturing crop. 

This year, however, most of it has been knee high since the middle of June, and some of it will be more than waist high by the 1st of July, so hopefully, we’ll have a great crop!

The other crops are growing very well too, so although it hasn’t always been a great summer for outdoor activities, the fields are liking this weather!
