Boy, not around here. If you look closely 'way down at the end of the row in this pic, that's a 5-foot high wire mesh fence running across - so you see how tall the corn is.

Here in SW Missouri we have to hide from tornadoes a few times each season - and there's plenty of strong thunderstorms with straight line winds too. If I didn't tie my cornstalks up, I'd never get any corn.

Hey, I want to thank you and Horseshoe again for introducing me to pink-eye purple-hull cow peas. We made a big pot yesterday with the last ones out of the freezer, and I sure enjoyed them. I'll be planting some of those every year from now on.
