it rained last night to the extent that there are were still afew flash flood watches and warning around earlier this morning...so while i was out running errands this morning i went by farmer brown's field and sure enough the industrial corn has perked up from last sunday...you can see the thirty inch rows standing tall...the second photo is some industrial plants and the third one is some hopi blue i planted at the end of last month...the industrial plants are bigger and probably will remain so because of all the engineering ( as opposed to artificial selection...which is a sort of engineering...but on a much slower and less costly basis ) that allows them to grow so close together...the last two photos show that the corn wasn't the only thing that benefited by a break in the drought...dandelions and some other noxious weeds are taking hold and will continue to do so until atrazine time ( which is another bit of industrial corn engineering since the corn can process atrazine and the weeds can't...round-up ready, liberty link...monsanto...bayer...patented seed that needs chemotheraphy to grow ) competing with the industrial plants for what anhydrous ammonia they can scrounge.
