Just don't want to appear as one of those who takes and re-sells.<br />And I will be watching the racoons as well!The October boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06236599482125512178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197967357022145830.post-79814177779976681572010-11-27T13:29:59.689-06:002010-11-27T13:29:59.689-06:00Sorry your corn got destroyed.

Don...Sorry your corn got destroyed. Darn racoons. <br /><br />Don't be intimidated. You probably wouldn't be the first to have asked a farmer. Most whom I've talked to are glad to help.Arcanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723408309266087427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197967357022145830.post-52156885814756185312010-11-27T11:37:16.019-06:002010-11-27T11:37:16.019-06:00Thanks for the ideas.

As you said, I think my best bet is to ask a farmer, or pay them to bundle some up, although i'm not quite sure how to start that conversation. We tried to grow some last year. It worked, but the racoons trashed everything about mid august. We were left with a tattered bundle about 4 feet high.The October boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06236599482125512178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6197967357022145830.post-64638751929314002102010-11-26T21:15:05.183-06:002010-11-26T21:15:05.183-06:00Roadside stands, nurseries and farmer's market...Roadside stands, nurseries and farmer's markets generally sell cornstalks but can be kind of pricey. Your best be would be to ask a farmer that grows corn if you could purchase some. Some farmers will let you chop some down for free. I've heard of people getting multiple bundles of stalks for cheap as well. <br /><br />As far as disposing of the stalks, try the town dump. Or your garbage man may take them if you bundle them up and set them on the curb. We just dump them in the woods and let them rot. ;)Arcanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723408309266087427noreply@blogger.com
