If the track has five toes each on the front and back feet it's from a raccoon or a member of the weasel family (weasel, badger, mink, skunk, otter) or it's a bear, beaver, opossum.
We studied the picture of yesterday's footprint and think it belongs to ... racoons! Oh no! Do racoons like corn too?
We took this picture (on the left) earlier today. This is the print the Kernel saw yesterday:
Prior to the big storm we are experiencing at the moment we were all out working in the corn field. Before we knew it the wind picked up, the sky started crackling and we were running for cover! It's amazing how quickly a storm can come up on you when you are so busy working with the soil. At least the storm will save us from having to water everything by bucket again!

Raccoons, skunks, oppossums....they eat just about anything! We feed the ones around here regularly. They act as our garbage disposal, eating leftovers that would normally be thrown away.
