So, two weeks later in comes the ground crew to pick up the ears.....by hand : (
Cole, Ellie and I have picked up corn for 2 nights in a row. We usually get in about an hour after school, until it gets too dark to see anymore. This was our second pickup load, and there are at least 3 more out there. Oh the joys...................
Corn on the ground, not good.
Corn crew out in force.
We fill this up, we dump it.
Another pickup load. Tonight, after Ellie decided she was done, and was waiting in the pickup, we hear a strange voice coming from inside the vehicle. After an investigation, Cole discovers Ellie has pushed the emergency On Star button. Sorry.

Matt says he will come out & help you pick up the corn, as long as he could throw them in the truck like he was shooting hoops! :)
What a bummer for you guys. You need to get a bunch of little kids out there that think it would be pretty fun to pick up!
Pretty funny about Ellie & on-star! I'm sure it wasn't that funny to you guys, but it's a great story!!! What did on-star say?
Well, wish we could be there to help you! :)
MEMORIES!!! I'm glad that other families have those crazy joys of farming also! Ellie....priceless! :) I can see ourselves in your shoes in sooo many ways! You made me smile today, and after the election hangover I have, that is a good thing! Hugs to you all.
Ellie should have pushed for help earlier! : )
This was a very interesting story. I have zero experience with farming. Do you keep the corn or throw it all away?
LOL, just "shows to go you!" Thanks for the farm lesson, Rachelle. That's A LOT of work. Glad Ellie's learning how to pick up corn too. She's a good little worker. :~D
Mark should have called us -- we could have pulled him out of the mud. (We have in-depth experience with Nebraska mud, ya know!)
Thanks for your detailed explanation over at Chrysalis. (I think I get it now. :~D) Bless you and your farming family!
the ON STAR thing is hilarious ... sorry you had to work so hard to pick up all the corn ... i so wish we lived in a farm ... my grandparents had a farm and we would go every weekend and just hang around, help bale hay, feed the pigs and cows and just experience a sense of freedom ... blessings ..
