Harvesting the corn

The corn in the field next to our house is being harvested.  There is a really big harvester and then it puts all the kernel of corn into a huge bin which a tractor drags away, the kernels are all dry and bright yellow or orange, they will be used to feed animals.  The left over corn stalks are then plower back into the ground.  we had a huge storm a few nights ago with lightening and lots of rain, the next day you could see the corn was all damaged but the wine crops hadn't been touched - because the corn protects the grapes.  The grapes will be harvested next - in the next week I think.
