I visit Delaware Ohio from Marion about once a week and all along the way are fields left fallow. Corn should be higher than it is now when the old saying says knee high by July it probably won't be quite that tall. That saying hasn't really been true for years as by July modern corn crops are usually waist high or even higher.
Yep. "Knee high by the 4th of July." I heard that when I was a kid in Nebraska; Things were good when that was true. Miss that life. It was so quiet some nights. You could hear the corn grow. Don't know for sure about that. But I do know when the equipment shut down in the evening you could hear two people talking clear across a field as clearly as if they were right next to you. I suppose that is still true on a farm.
