Yesterday the Conserving Wetlands and Traditional Agriculture Team spent the morning working in the field. After a delicious lunch we met up with a local farmer to help him harvest his corn. He had many varieties but we were harvesting the blue corn. To make sure the corn was ready to harvest, he taught us to look at the tops of the corn for the silk, which is the stringy material coming up out of the husk. The silk should be dark and brittle. The farmer was nice enough to let us take some corn with us and we are looking forward to trying it tonight!
