sitting around watching the corn grow

["Rich Peet" <>]

I was talking this last weekend with a very old farmer. I made the
comment that we were about as productive as a farmer sitting around
watching the corn grow.  I was then corrected by the farmer and told
that one sits around and listens to the corn grow not watches it.

In trying to get more information out of a now deaf farmer I only was
able to learn that on quiet humid days in early summer you could hear
the corn grow.

Can anyone fill me in with some more specifics?  Before I spend a
bunch of time in rural corn fields chasing what I know nothing about?
