Field Corn: Planting To Harvest | Danny Corn | Using an Antique Corn Dryer

[@sharonmckee2403]

My heart is full! Ms Wanda you have captured the the “30” years of a beautiful life with Danny and his corn. I am so proud of Danny and his determination. Job well done! And thank you for sharing this moment with us.❤

[@saffronbay]

You said perfectly rt there! That’s a good feeling when you get to harvest your corn and know how hard you’ve worked over the last 30 years to develop that corn variety.

[@marleneppaul]

Good morning! What a beautiful video, almost makes me want to cry. Mrs Wanda, your editing of videos is phenomenal! Thinking back to last year when all the corn was lost to the gorgeous corn this year is amazing. Excellent video!!

[@marleneppaul]

If you put dry cat food away from your crops, the raccoons and possums will go for the food that’s easy and will leave your crops alone. I feed raccoons and they leave every thing else alone.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Thank you so much!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

​@@marleneppaulyes but it also draws more coons in.

[@marleneppaul]

@@DeepSouthHomestead that’s true

[@wilburs-place6864]

My mother just gave me one of those "corn dryers". It was given to her and was told it was to put corn on to feed the squirrels. I hung it in my chicken coop and I use it to impale cabbage and zucchini etc for my chickens! It is so nice to know what it was actually used for! Now we know. God's timing is perfect! Great video!

[@sheilastewart1699]

Good Morning Ya'll Mr Danny I'm Sooo Excited right there with ya!! Your childlike happiness over the garden is infectious. I'm a lil lady but grew up extremely poor n when my father had a stroke we hardly had meat anymore because he was unable to kill hogs n we didn't have them to trade or the funds to buy 1/2 a cow from neighbors. So we had biscuits gravy n eggs n such for breakfast beans cornbread n everything from the garden. Mama had her chickens but other than that n a li meat from the store thats how we lived. But man i love my food n fresh is heaven sent you don't really grasp how much what you n Mz Wanda mean to us We honestly cherish n love Ya'll continued Prayer's n Blessing's upon ya'll.

[@seriousprepper9506]

I am so glad you got such a good harvest this year. You should be proud of the way it turned out.

[@tonylawrence1814]

I use to love Coon hunting from the Combine..The Top Cab Lights would eyeshine them when we got close to the woods..I carried a 22 rifle with me while Combining Wheat, Soy Beans, & Corn..By the time the beans were ready, all of the coons were gone 👍

[@osmadchlo]

I'm so excited for y'all that the corn has been a success this year! Looks like a lot of people will be blessed!

[@Brenda-tm1tn]

In years past we’ve had raccoons tear our corn patch completely up. I mean tear every stalk, every ear up. This was on 10 rows 50 feet long. Talk about heartbreaking now that’s heartbreaking. They’d wait til the night before we planned on pulling it the next morning. Now we have a 6 ft woven wire fence with a strand of electric wire on top. The electric wire was added because deer actually jumped the 6 foot tall fence. We don’t plant that much corn any more but still have to control the raccoons. Your Danny corn is absolutely beautiful. I pray nothing happens to it before you finish your harvest. 🌽🙂

[@catladynj]

Fantastic harvest. Congratulations. 😊. Nice video mix.😊

[@MississippiHomesteadJourney]

I watched this before supper and the picture with the fried corn, cornbread, zucchini, 'maters, and potatoes(?) put my hunger into overdrive. lol It was nice seeing the whole process from ground prep to harvest. Very motivating, can't wait until next spring!

[@cbass2755]

Being a farmer is NO easy task. You two work so hard. But the payoff is unmatched. God Bless our farmers…God love ya! ✝️

[@nancygrogan6082]

Yes, that dirt is beautiful! We call it dirt. We say “God made dirt. Dirt don’t hurt!” The corn is beautiful!

[@phyllismilligan624]

Good morning you two wonderful people. I am just tickled every time I watch a video you put out. Your knowledge is invaluable and your presentation is real. Thank you and God Bless you both really big.

[@taylorshomestead3934]

Bringing back memories of me and my brother with my grandpa in his cornfield picking corn each summer. When done, we rode on his tailgate of truck up to the local store for an orange crush. My grandma would make me a doll from corn husks.

[@julesf.]

Oohhh!😍 Danny, you and Ms. Wanda have done such a wonderful job. The corn is absolutely beautiful. Y'all are such an incredible inspiration. Thank you to Ms. Allison for the awesome gift too. Watching you put the corn on the dryers, I saw a homestead Christmas tree 😅 I'm learning so much about historical equipment uses and how they can still be incredibly useful in modern times.

[@lindadykes4040]

Wow! What pretty dirt. Pretty corn too. God bless you both. Much love 💖✝️

[@SG-vu4qy]

i'm so happy for your beautiful corn harvest. thank you and God bless.

[@edieparastatides9403]

Well that’s just a great deal of satisfaction from beginning to end for a farmer, isn’t it?

[@Green.Country.Agroforestry]

We're feeding our husks to the worms, and drying stalks for biochar. We pull it before the stalks start dying, so we can get a second crop in during our growing season. Extra harvest aside, with our humidity the kernels will start to germinate, or begin to experience fungal issues if we try to dry in-field. The green husks are easy to tie with twine for hanging - when we didn't have much to hang, we braided them. Yeah .. we grew a little corn 😉

[@sheilastewart1699]

For Ms Allison That was a blessing. Thank you for giving to him so he can show us.

[@janetwest7607]

Well done Danny and Wanda, the corn crop is beautiful. 6:03

[@Slipknot60]

Danny have you ever grown any "Jimmy Red" corn? Its the very best for Grits and Corn Meal...but what we grown it for is for making our fine Swamp Spirits!! Fine Spirits are great for Barting with here in the Low Country of SC!!

[@MissyVButterflyHill]

Beautiful and great job on the production Wanda and Danny! Loved watching this morning.

[@julieschossow9315]

What an awesome video you filmed Wanda! Great memory of Danny with his corn. Those antique dryers are pretty cool! Excited to see you make some.

[@alisonhallock7870]

Watching this video could give a person hope for a better future knowing Gods hand is there bringing such a simple thing like bringing together all the natural elements of some beautiful earth, a seed, water and sunlight to create a beautiful harvest. Of couse there is your tending the field ❤

[@LikesQuilts]

Wow! Thank you for sharing the progression of the corn growing process. My Daddy could be smiling from Heaven at the sight of all your hard work. He grew some great corn crops but yours is definately one of the finest I've ever seen. Blessings to you and Mrs. Wanda.

[@lorenstribling6096]

Beautiful corn. I love the colors and random patterns.

[@leeasherbranner355]

That fresh turned ground smell...

[@leechapman2707]

So i try my best i just came across your channel .and took great note of your smoke house , i did try one of your sulphate free bacons , need to make a smoker 😊love and respect to you and wanda ❤

[@cordyg4306]

That's some beautiful corn 🌽 you have there. Good morning 🌄 🌞

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Good morning!

[@judyabernathy80]

Wanda, the music selection brought tears to my eyes. 💔

[@bamatractor]

Growing up all I ever remember the corn hangers being used for was to fattin the squeals up!

[@grettaramses1510]

The corn turned out amazing! you are a wonderful gardener along with Miss Wanda! Thank you for the video! Have a great day!

[@upyours8888]

It is good to know that you guys are getting a good harvest!@ Now you have something to run through that beautiful old mill!@ praise the lord!@

[@debramiller3165]

Mornin’ from Southern Ohio. Getting a little smoke haze hanging over the hills here. 🙏🏻

[@makingmemorieswithbenji3004]

Good morning, good to see how the dirt was worked. Corn field looks great. Good maring all .😊

[@songofjoy4796]

Thank you Danny & Wanda for sharing your life & your wisdom with us.

[@sundrop3911]

My husband had an old rusty pitch fork that I had him bend each tine back in opposite directions to place on a pole mounted by my bird feeders to feed the birds in winter. We would get ear corn from our local feed store to put on each tine. Very ornamental way of feeding our feathered friends during harsh winters.

[@sandilacy9498]

Good morning you two! Danny, your corn is beautiful.

[@nancygould6789]

Great looking corn!🎉

[@dianehanks6214]

Farming was in my family for generations, corn was one of our crops, both field and sweet; amazing to follow your journey work Danny corn…

[@lorrismith7366]

That is some beautiful corn!! So happy for you and I cant wait to order some!

[@jerseygirl5486]

Your corn is so beautiful! Congratulations on a successful growing year 🌽🌽🌽

[@creekriseoutdoors]

What a great corn field you planted. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@burtzorn4059]

Danny is a happy man with his corn. Guess I've been in a hole Never seen those wire drying racks. TAKE CARE AND STAY COOL !!!!

[@curtisking2962]

Good morning Danny, I think I might see another business adventure for Mr. Mickey! Ya'll have a good day and try to stay cool.

[@southalroots]

I love it!! God has blessed all your hard work!

[@enaid54]

There's a couple on the internet website called, Country Life Vlog from Azerbaijan that has a primitive home made corn mill! The video is From garden to table! Make the best cornbread recipe on youtube! This shows you when there's a will there's a way! The mill is at the 5:38 mark. Good watch!

[@saltwaterinmyveins]

One of your best videos! Thanks Mrs.Wanda and Mr.Danny.

[@missiechako5917]

Been Praying y'all will have seed to sell but take care of y'all Pantry 1st! 🙏🙏🙏! Danny we've followed your corn from planting to now & have learned so much about corn from you! We've set aside and are prepping a spot for Danny corn just in case y'all have a little extra seed to sell ❤❤❤

[@angelapriddy6308]

Morning. Looks like some proper corn there. Mighty nice

[@featheredfriendshomestead]

Absolutely beautiful corn Danny and Wanda you should both be very proud.

[@saffronbay]

Great video! Beautiful corn & great job putting that all together. My 4 yr old grandson watched part of this as well. He likes the videos of him out working the garden & tractor equipment.

[@hickorbillyhomestead]

Good day DSH! That is an awesome crop. Thanks for sharing with us all. Stays safe up there and keep on growing🤠

[@Thetimecapsuletx]

What pretty corn! Danny, that corn is a masterpiece and you should be proud of what you accomplished.

[@denisebrady6858]

What a Fabulous video Miss Wanda- this is really something special- following Danny's Corn is so interesting & I loved it. Thank you for letting us be part of this. Cheers Denise- Australia

[@texaschopper3091]

Oh my gosh. What a joyful day. Harvest time. Absolutely love it.

[@agapefield]

Beautiful dirt, beautiful Danny Corn! Now I'm craving Mache Choux (Cajun French style Fried Corn!!! )

[@abcxyz-io7wt]

Awesome! Praying you get it all in 💝👍👍💝

[@peggyallen3963]

Love what y’all are doing and for sharing with us. My husband and I grew up on a farm and raised our kids on home grown foods. Now we are old and our health is failing so can only manage a few raised beds and pots for raising food. Love watching your videos.

[@debbies2966]

Good morning Danny and Wanda. Great informative video. We need a corn manual next!

[@marysurbanchickengarden]

I'm very happy for Danny and his corn. I myself wouldn't want to grow corn so tall. Surely there's an heirloom out there that doesn't grow that tall and makes two ears per stalk.

[@sheilastewart1699]

Hallelujah thank you Yhwh for the beautiful bounty.

[@creativeflow952]

From seed to harvest absolutely beautiful!!

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

You're making a most beautiful Christmas tree decorated with blessings of abundance:)))

[@SimplyBackwoods]

The Lord has blessed you with some of the best Danny Corn this year. Your years of creating the Danny Corn have paid off in a big way. I've learned so much following you from planting it until now. You've eliminated a possum and some racoons but those deer are watching and drooling lol Thanks for sharing about slip shucking. I appreciate this. The corn looks great in spite of the weather. The Antique Corn Dryer is pretty cool. I hope you can find a few more that are not so ridiculously priced. Looking forward to seeing how to do the homemade air dryers for the corn. Thanks for sharing and rich blessings to you both.

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

That's some pretty corn! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing how to make some of those driers.

[@sengelmohr]

Beautiful corn & job well done. 💗

[@sunshinedayz2172]

Now that is some pretty corn!

[@grilla883]

Those corn dryers are so nice, they make a fantastic display of corn.

[@ts4918]

That was awesome and learned something new. Really appreciate y’all sharing a wealth of knowledge. God bless you🙏

[@On-the-Go62]

Absolutely beautiful 🌽

[@poemsforgod2548]

Thanks Wanda and Danny I am looking forward to planting corn tomorrow if I can get the grass out today just have room for 16 plants but it is only me . I am trying to plant by the almanac /shrug Thanks for sharing your knowledge I will let ya'll know how it goes. I am in East Texas, everything got knocked down yesterday in a bad bit of weather and plenty hot here too My neighbors think I am eccentric to put it nicely at 72 gardening /grin I love it even the problems are a challenge to meet, hey its LIFE yup! love and blessings

[@izaacdreddpimp]

U keep up the good work, is what i tried to type the first time... Phones? Mind of their own sometimes...

[@Rosethatwantstomove]

I knew of a lady who gardened up in her 90s, she was in her 100s when she passed. Asian people garden into their 100s according to some documentaries. So keep at it. Fresh air and dirt does the body good

[@saddleridge4364]

I tie strong yarn to the first cob, wrap a loop around the next one, fairly close up, then flop that ear over the yarn, and keep going. It works and I got corn hanging from pegs on the outside of my pantry cupboard since last summer. It's Earth Tones Dent corn, real pretty.

[@MrCntryjoe]

I'm guarding 8 rows. Sleeping at my garden. Alice corn, n a dent. Hand pollinated. Chinese beetles are a silk destroyer. I've had less than 3" rain all grow season. ☮️ HTGDE DANNY CORN IS BEAUTIFUL.

[@izaacdreddpimp]

Its a great day here in Hampton roads , Virginia. We jus had a wknd full of canning , cooking , drying preserving, and storing. Wow summertime rush!. I thank u for sharing your life with us. Corns looking like a success. Betcha can't wait to use that new(to you) antique grist mill! Honestly, i kinda can't wait to see it in action myself!! Y'all stay blessed an try to keep kool down there.

[@Bunk599]

Growing corn and protecting it until harvest is not easy.....nice job. In a span of 4 years I lost three crops due to hail, deer (would jump my fence) and raccoon....the one successful year provided the incentive to keep trying. Could not do anything about the weather but motion sensing water sprinklers kept the deer and raccoon away and the garden watered. In Southeastern PA we had an abundance of well water.

[@kakinman8428]

Thank you Danny. I learn so much from you!!

[@RoadKillsRanch]

I just told my wife about your corn driers and she went to the closet where we keep some of my moms old things and pulled out 4 of them just like yours!

[@trishaporte]

G’mornin Danny and Wanda! Your Danny Corn is BEAUTIFUL!!

[@billsalmon9562]

Awesome corm patch yall

[@mary-ue4ir]

Such a wonderful video!!! I'm so happy for you both! 🥰Your Danny corn is so beautiful this year and I remember the drought last year. God is good ❤

[@charmainemontgomery582]

I never saw a corn dryer before. That’s handy!

[@ShalomShalom-d5c]

Love the music with the filming on the intro. Fantastic! Beautiful farm. You guys inspire & amaze me.

[@TheRhonda1957]

[@emeraldwaterlifehomestead2180]

What a wonderful video of your 😎🌱🌽Danny Corn🌽, beautifully done. Well done Danny & Wanda 👏👏 I so enjoyed it🌸

[@Rosethatwantstomove]

I have a book that has plans for the corn. 1x3 board or piece of plywood with like 8 penny nail (8d) nailed through the board & stick the corn on the nail. They also labeled what row of the field it came from. They took about 3-5 kernels & sprouted to see which had the best germination. I would love to see how you will build yours.

[@patriciamoses2185]

Looking forward to seeing how you make them

[@Joan-ej7wv]

Thanks you for sharing your experience with this big familys

[@bobhutto1624]

Outstanding.....your corn looks great, hope you and Ms Wanda take care in the heat gathering.

[@angiegiddens1024]

Love the way you put this together.

[@janetnga3234]

What a blessing!

[@rt3box6tx74]

Loved this cornfield video. If you shred the stalks down and spread a little fertilizer on it the stubble will break down better over winter.

[@thekingscene]

I've been dealing with the stalk borers and Japanese beetles this year myself. They have got a lot of my corn

[@ReapWhatYouSowGardening]

Yea we kill the Japanese beetle by hand and we have to regularly shake our Plumtree to remove those disgusting beetles

[@krissaann333]

Beautiful! Just like y'all! 💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏

[@bartsexton1652]

I had two different corn plots planted . Even the one right here beside the house the deer have eat ever piece of corn I had . And not only are they eating all my corn the now eating the leaves off my sweet potatoes . So I was gonna wait tell the winter to get the deer fencing but looks like if I want sweet potatoes I better get it now . And I even have a radio is on high and they still eating my stuff up. So glade u got good stand this year .

[@ramonahierholzer3163]

We started seeing German roaches on the southeast coast, about 10+ years ago. 😡 Found them VERY difficult to eradicate!!! I had no crops. Lived on creekside, about 1/4 mile from the ocean. Loved your video! Danny Corn had a happy ending this year. 🤗🥰💪🙏

[@jennbama]

Really good video Wanda!❤
