Is the corn looking good? Ready for harvest soon?

We'll get a 96% eclipse here and the sky will be clear.

It's amazing, thousands of folks are flocking to central Oregon to watch it. I've seen eclipses before, just not that excited about it.

The corn’s turning brown but that’s a good thing. It’s done. Now it dries out for the next several weeks. Not as pretty as when it’s dark green but the ears are nice and plump this year. Gonna be a good haul come harvest time this fall.

I’ve seen a couple of partial eclipses but never a total one. It’ll get pretty dark here at the farm but why stay here when we can drive a little over an hour and be in the totality path? And though we’ll have a little traffic to deal with on the way there, we won’t have a crush of people while we watch. My brother has a large back yard with no trees. He’s invited a few friends to join us and there’ll be plenty of elbow room. Won’t be the same in town, though, or elsewhere in TN along the path. It’s going to be crazy!

Just gotta hope for those clouds to stay away that day. Clouds are far too common here this time of year.
