[AT] Corn

[Dick Day]

Thanks. I googled this and lots of the posts mentioned leaving them to 
attract deer. I did read a few that said they are left for some type of 
verification of yield. I have no idea what that would mean.  Until something 
better comes along, I'll go with your theory of leaving it to attract game.

Yesterday, we travelled from Norfolk, NE down to Omaha and came back via a 
different route and saw this in nearly every field that been harvested.

Thanks

Dick
