A few days before I started my first year in college I helped shell a couple cribs of ear corn.
A friend and I had worked all summer as a custom crew putting up small hay bales. We worked by the bale and hit it hard, made pretty good money.
A friend of my dad asked us if we could come and scoop to the sheller, thought we could get it done in 2-3 days.
We only worked eight hours the first day and finished by four hours into the second day.
A scoop shovel is different muscles than a hay hook! Talk about sore muscles!
At least Joe paid us well.
Always drink upstream from the herd...cowdoc...
