somehow these loads of corn never look as big in a photo. this is 85 sacks of corn. it took us 2.5 hours to pick it. nice corn right now. a few worms, but not bad.
good crew i might add.

market schedule

Really nice corn coming in now
Wednesday: UofMn Farmers Market, Church street, 11am-2pm
Thursday: Nicollet Mall Market, 8th and Nicollet, 9:30am-3:30pm
Saturday: Minneapolis Farmers Market, 6am-1pm
Mill City Farmers Market, 7:30am-1pm
Sunday: Minneapolis Farmers Market, 6am-1pm

This is the 4am load on a Saturday morning. If we have a lot of corn there is a second, not nearly so big load around 9am.
Unfortunately, I am currently kind of short of corn. I'm into a planting that did not develop well because of all the early rains. I'm skipping tomorrow's market(Sunday), and hope to be back to regular market schedule by weds. I suspect there will be a rather tight supply for about a week to 10 days. After that i hope to be back to huge piles and multiple loads.
There will be all yellow and all white corn coming ripe very soon.

the two hoodlums helping sell at the UofMn. wow we were busy.
we are into some really nice corn this week

Today I was driving by a garage sale and saw a bike, so I figured I
should stop.
As I approached I saw that it was copper colored Raleigh with high
flange hubs.
Closer, I could see it had a chrome fork ends, chrome stays, ornate fork crown
I could hardly breathe...could it be the Holy Grail; a copper colored
Raleigh International?
Alas, it was a Super Course with cheap simplex derailleurs.
However, it did have Suntour bar-end shifters that I've been looking
for and the hubs were Normandy with aluminum rims with new tires, and
some nice long reach centerpull brakes.
And the coolest handle bar water bottle holder ever.
The guy was an older gentleman and had ridden it to Madison and back
when he was younger.
Asking 40
I gave it too him.
