It’s the first weekend in October and, with rain in the local morning forecast, I set out to find the nation’s classic fall traditions.

It’s time for a quick update on the corn crop. The last time that I checked in on corn, the fields were suffering from the lack of rain. Now, the summer heat has combined with the limited rainfall to keep the corn crop in danger longer. It’s so bad that CNBC says, “Corn is facing […]
