How are the crops doing? Knee high by the 4th of July?

Last year, the crops were in so early they were amazingly tall by the 4th of July.  This year the crops were put in later than average.  So are they just as tall as last year????

Really? above the shoulders?
Look closely!  Dale is kneeling down.  LOL - - - we had to have a little fun.

As I said a while ago, to be on target the corn is supposed to be knee high by the 4th of July.  Dale was told the measurement was to stand up next to the corn and hold one of he top leaves up towards yourself.  Dale is 5'10" and according to the measurement a farmer told to Dale, the corn is chest high.

There is no need for that with the crops around here.  We walked into a farmers field, careful not to do any damage, to show you how healthy the crops are this summer. The crops are well over knee high
