Went out after dinner into the over-ripe corn patch to cut some for the cows to snack on. It was a beautiful evening, cool and a nice breeze rustling the corn leaves. So I thought about my great uncle George 60 years ago chopping corn and shocking it by hand and figured I'd try it. Those stalks are heavy when you get over a dozen in one arm while trying to cut more. I'd be interested to hear from those of you with experience with the process. Do you try to bundle a dozen or less stalks so they can thoroughly dry and then stand a group of smaller bundles into a "shock"? Western Oregon field corn gets chopped for silage so I've never been around "shocking". Am I even using the right term? I had fun anyway and I figure if I can get them dry enough I'll toss them in the hayloft and feed the bundles over the winter.
