Laying by corn....Why I didn't marry that city girl

What happens here

Discard any highly moldy or unsuitable corn ears and husks by feeding them to livestock, such as goats. This ensures that no edible parts go to waste. The video also shows a second, healthier corn patch (Silver Queen) that will be harvested later.

Goal: Minimize waste by repurposing unusable corn parts and acknowledge future harvest plans.

Tools and materials

  • Corn Husks N/A — Livestock feed
  • Moldy/Damaged Corn N/A — Livestock feed
