LAKE HERRON, Minn. - Abanye abalimi bendawo ngoku bathengisa iziqhamo zomsebenzi wabo - okanye kunoko imbewu abayivunayo.
U-Zach Schumacher kunye no-Isaac Fest bavune iziqwenga ezibini zepopcorn eziziihektare ezi-1.5 ngeHalloween kwaye baqale kwiveki ephelileyo ngemveliso yabo abayilinywe ekhaya - ezimbini zePlayboy Popcorn zipakishwe kwaye zibhalwe.
“Apha, ngumbona neembotyi zesoya.Ndicinga nje into ekulula ukuyivuna kwaye ifana kakhulu nale uyenzayo kwintsimi yombona eqhelekileyo,” utshilo uFest ngombono wakhe wokulima iipopcorn. weSikolo samaBanga aPhakamileyo saseHeron Lake-Okabena, yaye aba babini bakhawuleza baqalisa isicwangciso.” Sasifuna ukuzama into eyahlukileyo—into ekhethekileyo—enokwabelana ngayo noluntu.”
Iimveliso zabo zePopcorn ezimbini zeDudes ziquka iingxowa ezi-2 zeeponti;Iingxowa ze-8-ounce ze-popcorn zitywinwe ngee-ounces ezi-2 ze-coconut oil flavored;kunye ne-50-pondo iingxowa ze-popcorn zokusetyenziswa kwezorhwebo. I-Heron Lake-Okabena High School yenza ukuthengwa kwezorhwebo kwaye ngoku inika i-Dudes popcorn ezimbini kwimidlalo yayo yezemidlalo yasekhaya, kunye nesahluko se-HL-O FCCLA siya kuthengisa i-popcorn njenge-fundraiser.
Ekuhlaleni, iipopcorn zithengiswa eHers & Mine Boutique kwa-922 Fifth Avenue kumbindi wedolophu yaseWorthington, okanye zinokuodolwa ngokuthe ngqo kwi-Two dudes Popcorn kuFacebook.
I-Fest ithenge imbewu ye-popcorn ngexesha lohambo lweshishini ukuya e-Indiana entwasahlobo edlulileyo.Ngokusekelwe kwixesha lokukhula eMinnesota, iindidi ze-107-day ezivuthiweyo zikhethiwe.
Esi sibini satyala izityalo zabo kwiveki yokuqala kaMeyi kwiziza ezibini ezahlukeneyo—esinye kumhlaba oyisanti kufuphi noMlambo iDes Moines esinye kumhlaba onzima.
“Sicinga ukuba eyona ndawo inzima kukulima nokuvuna, kodwa kulula,” utshilo uSchumacher. cinga.”
Ngamanye amaxesha – ngakumbi ngexesha lembalela yaphakathi enyakeni – baye bacinge ukuba abanakuvuna. Ukongeza kokunqongophala kwemvula, babenexhala ekuqaleni ngokutshabalalisa ukhula kuba babengakwazi ukutshiza izityalo. Kufumaniseke ukuba ukhula luyagcinwa ukuze lukhule lukhula. ubuncinane xa umbona ufikelele kwi-canopy.
“I-Popcorn ichane kakhulu malunga nokufuma okufunekayo,” utshilo uSchumacher.
Utata kaFest wawavuna omabini la masimi ngeHalloween ngesivuni sakhe esidibanisayo, kwaye kwathatha nje iisetingi ezimbalwa kwintloko yombona ukuyenza isebenze.
Ngenxa yokuba ubumanzi buphezulu kakhulu, uSchumacher uthe basebenzise ifeni yesikrufu sakudala kwibhokisi enkulu ukufumana umoya oshushu ngesityalo sepopcorn esityheli.
Emva kweeveki ezimbini - emva kokuba ipopcorn ifikelele kwinqanaba lokufuma elifunwayo - umlimi waqesha inkampani yaseSouth Dakota ukuba icoce imbewu kwaye isuse nayiphi na into, efana ne-husk debris okanye isilika, enokuthi ihambe kunye nembewu ngokudibanisa. oomatshini benkampani banokuhlenga-hlengisa imbewu ukuqinisekisa ukuba imveliso yokugqibela, ethengiswayo iyafana ngobungakanani nangombala.
Emva kwenkqubo yokucoca, izityalo zithunyelwa ngenqanawa zibuyela e-Heron Lake, apho amafama kunye neentsapho zabo bezenzela ezabo ukupakisha.
Babenomcimbi wabo wokuqala wokupakisha ngo-Dec. 5, kuquka nabahlobo abambalwa, kunye neengxowa ze-300 ze-popcorn ezilungele ukuthengisa.
Ewe kunjalo, kufuneka bavavanye ukungcamla ngelixa besebenza kwaye baqinisekise ukugqabhuka komgangatho wepopcorn.
Ngelixa abalimi besithi bafikelela ngokulula kwimbewu, abaqinisekanga ukuba zingaphi iihektare eziya kufumaneka kwisityalo kwixesha elizayo.
“Iya kuxhomekeka ngakumbi kwiintengiso zethu,” utshilo uSchumacher.
“Lilonke, sonwabe kakhulu kwaye bekumnandi sihleli nabahlobo kunye nosapho,” wongeze watsho.
Abalimi bafuna impendulo kwimveliso - kubandakanywa nokuba abantu banomdla kwi-popcorn emhlophe kunye nephuzi.
“Xa ujonge i-popcorn, ujonge isivuno kunye nokhozo oluza kwanda kakuhle,” utshilo, eqaphela ukuba isivuno se-popcorn sixhomekeke kwiponti ngehektare, hayi i-bushels ngehektare nganye.
Abazange bafune ukutyhila amanani esivuno, kodwa baye bathi izityalo ezilinywe kumhlaba onzima zisebenze ngcono kunezo zilinywe kumhlaba oyisanti.
