Corn Husking...

We went to the Nebraska State Corn Husking contest Saturday. Yes, there is a statewide competition for corn husking...news to me too :) This is something Derick did growing up with his dad and grandfather. Anyway, they pick corn the old-fashioned way with a hook on their hand husking and picking the corn off the stock one cob at a time while the wagon pulled by horses is behind them. Tyson liked the horses until he was face to face with one. He was able to ride in the wagon with Grandpa Gary after Grandpa's pick and he loved that! It was a fun and interesting morning...I still just don't see the fun in walking through a corn field to see who can pick the most corn!! Sometimes I ask myself how I ended up with this small town farm boy?
