Knee High by the 4th of July
Knee high by the 4th of July is an old farmer saying and benchmark for a good corn crop. But with improved seed genetics and farming practices, farmers expect their corn to be at least waist high if not head high (or higher, like we are seeing this year) on our farm in North Iowa.
It has become tradition for us to take a Knee High by the 4th of July photo every year. It is a fun way to document our farm family, as well as our crop progress for the year. Check out past years - 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012. This year's corn crop looks the most similar to 2012, but add three more kids!
