After much growing, the Howell Farm feed corn is ready to be picked and stored for the winter. School children visiting Howell Farm today wove through the drying corn stalks and harvested ears, which were then gathered in a horse-drawn wagon. Most of it is destined for the corn crib, guarded by a sign that says, "Don't open until Christmas."
The students learned that, 100 years ago, there's a good chance they'd be spending a lot of their Octobers doing this repetitive task -- picking corn.
