LeRoy Peters of Henderson tosses a husked ear of corn into a horse-drawn trailer during a hand cornhusking demonstration at Husker Harvest Days on Sept. 11, 2008. “I picked 103 bushels per day for 10 days in 60 bushel corn,” he said speaking of his youth. “I got 13 cents per bushel. I had to furnish my own team and wagon. We were young and we were strong.”
