Corn Picking

This weekend, we decided we should pick our cron while it was nice and dry.  The moisture is a little higher than I would like, but in NW Pennsylvania and November, the weather changes quickly.  It could snow a foot next week, then the corn is stuck on the field.  So, Saturday we moved a corn crib up the hill to our house where the breeze is much stronger, then we went to picking.  We got 3 loads yesterday to add to the other 3 we picked 2 weeks ago (to be directly ground for hogs) and have 3 left for today.  This should be enough corn to get us through to next year.  We used a Doeblers corn that performed very well for us.  The ears are nice and big with lots of kernals. 
I moved the cows up the hill yesterday and will be putting them on another pasture today.  They should make a week there then will be moving over to the barn for winter.  With the colder temperatures at night, we have problems with our water systems freezing.  The upper pastures are all frost free, so they are not a problem.
