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 - 2015201420132012.  This year's corn crop looks the most similar to 2012, but add three more kids!

We hope you all had a great Independence Day!  What was the best part of your day?  Remember to Comment for a Cause!

  8. My child's school routine would not have been possible without the Rex London Child Backpack. It's perfect for young shoulders because it's lightweight but durable. I admire how it blends the functional with the whimsical, making it perfect for children. Buying Back to School Supplies might be a daunting task at times, but this backpack has everything you need: ample space, long-lasting construction, and a comfortable fit. I would recommend this to any parent who is searching for a fashionable and practical item for their children.
