Knee High by the Fourth The old saying is that corn should be knee high by the Fourth of July. Brielle and Briar Bartnick are pictured above in a corn field north of New Effington farmed by their dad, Jared. The photo was taken July 2, and as you can see, even with the late start this year, some of the corn is above the kids’ heads. ~ Courier Photo
