So, the first day of detasseling is over and done with (Yay), and it actually wasn't so bad. It was incredibly wet and very dull, but not too bad.
For those of you that don't know what detasseling is, let me explain. Detasseling is when you get up at unearthly hours and walk around for long hours though corn fields in the freezing cold or scorching heat pulling tassels off the tops of corn so that they can cross pollinate and create a hybrid corn. In other words, torture.
Just kidding. It's really not so horrible once you get used to it. Although, it does take a while to get used to seeing corn when you go to sleep at night.
Until I write again, au revoir.
