Corn Detasseling

My grandson is 13 this summer and has a job that begins next week.  He will be detasseling corn from 5:30am to 3:00 pm with a break for lunch!

This is one job a 13 year old can make some pretty good money doing.  I don't think these jobs were available when I was a kid on the farm and I don't remember even knowing about the process until I lived in the Platte River valley as an adult.  It doesn't appeal to me as a fun way to spend a day!!

Here's hoping he makes it through the first day!!
