Crows and Corn

WRVO
Published September 25, 2010 at 3:16 PM EDT

Oswego, NY – This is an archived edition of Nature of Things originally aired on September 29th, 1989.

Most people relate the changing seasons with events that occur in nature. This morning, the frost, fog, and moisture signal that it is quickly becoming autumn. The importance of corn throughout history is discussed and the crow is cast in a positive light.
WRVO is at a critical moment.
Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.
