My "boss" just posted some pictures and videos to his Picasa website

Towards the bottom there is a video of the antique corn decobber that my co-worker brought in for us to use. It says that it was built in 1904 or 1905 for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. It's really neat to use a machine that was used so long ago and has been sitting in someone's storage for decades. They sure new how to build things tough back then.

We grew three varieties of dry corn. A popcorn, and two varieties for corn meal (Painted Mountain and a dent corn).

Things are really slowing down as it has been below freezing for days on end here (which is rare). We are, however, building a new greenhouse that is 20x50 feet. It's pretty exciting to be a part of building an entire structure. I have done a bit of construction type work but I don't think I've ever done a start to finish, free standing structure. Working with the metal pipe skeleton of the greenhouse in this weather is "fun". I'm sure pictures will follow.
