Detasseling? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

the top part of a corn plant is called the tassel. It makes the pollen
for making hybrids you must remove the tassels from one breed and leave the other breed that will cross pollenate with it's tassels. So you end up with male and female rows.

bob you prolly wouldn't see me as a very very very dedicated soccer player either... but in reality more of my waking hours are spent on soccer than computers

Damn! I'd almost forgotten about detasseling. =P I never actually did it because I had some pretty bad asthma when I was in High School, but lots of my friends made beacoup bucks that way every summer. I should have guessed Kazan was a farmboy =P

the plebes are calling me "The Drill Sargent"... if you got moved to my group you knew you were sucking.... hehe... all but 2 that got moved to me for 'extensive training' became an extraordinary detasseller
the other supervisors were girls- except for the other guy and he doesn't have the physical, or mental presence to be "The Drill Sargent".. plus I can fire people without clearing it first
-
you should act like the Drill Sergeant in Full Metal Jacket..
