Blest be the ties that bind…and shred and pick corn during Farm Tale days! USDA
predicts a record corn crop for 2025. But domestic use and exports were definitely not
what we thought about as the corn picker parade rattled and banged down the field
driveway.

Join Dan and Daryl as they look back at corn harvest during the Baby Boomer years.
Scoop shovels, portable (not so much) elevators, and a corn crib (why crib?) were the
tools of the day. A 24 row corn head wasn’t even on the horizon as we pulled another
load of ear corn home behind the Farmall “H”. And don’t forget to …DUCK!

Many baby boomers left their rural route addresses as they made their

share tales about growing up down on the farm during those baby
boomer years. Just close your eyes and imagine the smell of fresh cut
hay or feel the softness of a baby chick in your hands. You can hear the
cows as they return from the nearby pasture. We invite you to listen,
relax and remember a way of life that is vanishing from our rural roots.

Dan grew up on a dairy farm on Chipmunk Ridge overlooking the
Coulee region of western WI. Daryl grew up on a dairy farm at Rural
Route 1 in southern MN. Like so many other baby boomers they left the
cows behind and pursued other opportunities. But 40 years later, all
they have to do is close their eyes and the tales a
