YAY! I'm so happy that they're back Janet. I know you've been missing them. Have a fun week enjoying their company and getting some extra help with the puppies.

Janet,
Did you ever detassel corn? They won't work when it's storming out. I worked 3 summers and got wet but when it stormed we quit and had to leave the field. I know I'd be worried too. Jen has a job offer when school starts working for a dry cleaner. Dustin is working 2 jobs this summer. Tell the boy's hello for me. ![]()

Yeah!!!!! So glad they are back so you have some help and some company!!!! Great that they had such a good time & got to ride a horse. Cool
![]() Why do they detassle corn??? We raise a LOT of corn around here. I grew up on a farm with corn and we never detassled it. Seems like a strange and unnessary thing to do. We'd walk the milo fields to grub out Johnson grass or sunflowers. We'd chop cotton, but never detassle corn. Guess it's a regional thing.

Marilyn, you got me curious, so I had to look it up. LOL
Seed companies plant different varieties of corn and detassle the ones they don't want to cross.

I'm not sure I want him working too much during school. He struggles with some of his classes and this coming school year won't be an easy one either. He doesn't like school much and it's so hard to get him to study of an evening. If he had a job, he'd never get any studying done. If he wants to make any money this summer, he is gonna have to detassel. He filled out 20 applications and no one has called. I told him next year he was putting in applications starting at the end of April (school gets out in May.) His arm was in a cast, so that may have had something to do with it. I don't know.
