My grandparents were farmers, and I'm building a few of my experiences with them into this story. The seed corn thing - I distinctly remember all the pens and note pads and magnet and hats and...you name it. My alma mater has an ag school, and I remember when I was in college marching band, we used to play "spot the seed corn cap" while we waiting to go on the football field for our pre-game show. So I mention the pervasiveness of seed corn everything with love.
This has been a fun story to write so far, and the characters almost write themselves. Hope you're enjoying reading it as much as I'm enjoying writing it.
