How come Georgia is going back to school so early.
How come Georgia is going back to school so early. I thought it was a
farming state, and they didn't go back until after the harvest. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronav...positive-test/ |

I'm in my 60s and school was always starting around Labor Day or so. Harvest in my area started mid October or so depending on weather. Planting season for corn starts in early April with soybeans following. Winter wheat sowing starts in mid September if my memory is working. Harvest for it would be late July. Grain sorghum (milo) is planted in the spring and harvested in the fall. It's mainly a dryland crop. School has to start earlier than when I was growing up since kids aren't nearly as smart now as my generation is/was. |

The last couple of nights on my way home I passed some kids with a picnic table full of veggies in their driveway that they were selling. Last night she had a competitor a half mile down the road. A pickup was in a driveway with two big boxes of squash in the bed and a big sign that said Free! Like they say, lock your car doors or you'll wind up with a bushel of zucchini in the back seat. |

On Fri, 7 Aug 2020 07:38:26 -0600, lowbrowwoman, the endlessly driveling,
troll-feeding, senile idiot, blabbered again: The harvest has started! Right on! Must be the best time of the year for a stupid hayseed like you, lowbrowwoman! |
