Never in the Midwest

could you sell dry corn stalks in a bundle for $3!!

And the thing is, people buy them! The owner of the local fruit stand told me that he has sold 8 bins of these stalks. I replied that they look festive, but being raised on a farm I just couldn't justify spending $3 on dried corn stalks. The owner then offered to buy my dad's corn stalks, until I mentioned that he farms in Kansas.

Sorry, Dad. Not this year.

Dad wants to know how much the fruit stand owner will pay for the corn stalks. He may be able to ship them---at the stand owner's expense of course. We could use some spending money when we come to Seattle. MOM
