That corn crop is impressive! I'm a little surprised it happened in Maryland. I figured it would be too cold to have a long growing season. That's really amazing.
I have a competitive spirit and enjoy trying to outdo my previous total each year. I try to outdo the locals too. We all check on one another's progress as the season advances. It's all in good fun. I'm not into monoculture though, so internally I usually consider how much I've managed to sell, donate, eat, and preserve for that season's harvest.
