[QUOTE="steerhorn, post: 445836, member: 5987"] I have a question: My wife and I are from central Ohio and have always enjoyed taking trips to Tenn. Having never been to the western side we decided to take a road trip to Memphis by way of Jackson just to check out the scenery and agriculutural interests. The trip was last weekend. We really enjoyed Memphis, especially Beale St. Taking in the "Blues". I was however, really dissappointed by what I observed with the rest of the western Tenn. along our route back up to Reelfoot Lake. The land seem very poor. I'd never seen a cotton field before, so I was pretty giddy about that, enjoyed seeing something different for a change. But we saw hardly any livestock, no hay fields what so ever, or pastures. Just cotton, some soybeans, and some other crop that I didn't recognize. Which is my question. What is that they're growing, which would appear to be a second cropping? It's sown thick, appears to be a grass or corn of some type. Maybe sorgrhum? Most of it was only about 8 inches tall or so, but I did see one field that appeared to be "headed out". It was only about 2 ft. tall. What is it, and how is it grown and harevested? [/QUOTE]
