Corn Stalks Nearing a Foot Tall


The growth of the machine-planted corn at the Not A Cornfield site continues at an inspired pace. This morning, one unofficial measurement of the corn's height came out as ten inches. The hand-planted corn in the "eye" -- or communal garden area -- is even taller. Watch the corn grow via the Live Webcam
