Detasseled two years, 1984-85, 14-15 years old, grew up on a farm. Detasseled corn south on Columbus Nebraska Garst Corn. First day out was stuck with the misfits, one kid was staying with his Grandma, he was from California and asked what the plant was, had no clue the difference from corn to weeds. Up at 3 am drove 45 minutes to get on bus by 5 and in the field by 6. One field the growers pumped liquid manure from chicken barn through the gated pipe, and everybody asked what stunk as they walked through the mess up to their knees. The girl that usually sat with me was down to her panties one morning, wasn't sitting with me that day, and same girl's mom drove her 4 miles to the bus with her purse on top of the car luckily the car had a luggage rack so she didn't loose it. Sister that drove us almost rolled the car by swerving for a rabbit, then had to wake up a farmer to pull car from the ditch at 4 am. Can't imagine girls stripping and not getting cut up from the leaves. Walked most of the time, rode a Hagie machine a couple times. Hard on the ankles. chris
