An adage as old as time itself states corn ought to be knee-high by the Fourth of July. Even with many area farmers getting a late start on planting due to weather-related slow-downs, most corn in the area seems to be at least living up to that saying. Here, the children of rural Webster farmers Steve and Natalie Kuecker stand among a field of their father’s crop. From left are Bennett, 12, Kinsey, 14, Ada, nine and Lucy, six.
