Being a city kid - always wondered how many ears of corn were on those stalks in the fields I passed every summer.

there are two!


I saw a lot of corn this morning...after it got light...

It’s that time of year Stig. I’ve been watching East Yorkshire farmers burning the midnight oil to harvest wheat before the current dry spell ends - forecast for later this week. Lots of areas in the UK have had cereal crops flattened and damaged by prolonged wet weather.

It’s an ill wind though, I heard a news report that those very same weather conditions mean the increasing number of English vineyards are expecting a bumper crop!
Regards & ride safe,
