Christmas

A majority of my day was devoted to translating for a corn experiment. 35 years ago an indian corn sample made its way back from Guatemala to the U.S.A. and was genetically improved. In 2007, a ton of different varieties were planted and now have fully matured, in some samples, to nearly 4 times this size of the indian corn. Every two rows of corn the variety changed, sooo..when we went to shuck the corn, it felt like Christmas time! You never knew what would be unveiled. The presents included gold corn, bug covered corn, indian corn, gold corn with purple kernels, and all sorts of exciting combinations. Don't try to eat it though, its pretty tough.
