[Sca-cooks] Corn, was Return of the Wanderer (partly OT)

[johnna holloway]

Maybe that's a problem in PA, but when you have
most of Central Illinois planted in either beans
or corn... It's not much of problem out in Illinois.
Now people shooting a cow and claiming it was a deer
or pulling up to a grain bin and unloading the grain
into a truck for a quick trip to the elevator for
cash... Or sugar in gas tanks of equipment left in
the field... that's more a problem...and concern.
