This is Chilindrina. She delivered corn to our house (with a little help from the human she owns). I was told it was fresh, local corn. (As in, right here in town).
I asked to go next time to see the cornfield. We went the next day down a long dirt road that leads out from town. It actually is in better conditions than most so we went in the truck. Poor Chilindrina couldn't carry us all!
You might not be able to tell from the picture, but it was steep!
Papi's uncle, Tio Moro (In all these years I've never heard his "real" name), brought up bundles of stalks and all. The green left over will be for Chilindrina to eat back at her house.
I did not realize that there is only ear per stalk. Farming is a lot of work!
