Nah. they own a farm market and grow sweetcorn. Anything they over pick and don't sell that day they throw in a pile. They still have 6 acres planted they aren't going to get to...
Back in those days, we had 2 good ole boys that used to roll up every evening and empty the shucking barrels and feed them to their whatevers. We only picked what we needed though, give or take a couple dozen.
Its true though, most sweet corn places will only pick a patch twice, max...at this time of the year it's only a 1 pick because of the worms.
