I grew up in south central Ohio, in the middle of a corn field. Literally. Corn everywhere! The farmers in the area grew lots of corn, beets, radishes, and lettuce so I focused on those veggies. The rural area where I grew up was farmed by the same families for over a century. Not much happened in those parts, so I always made up stories in my mind about things that took place "in the old days" before I was born. That's where this little story about Betty Sue and "the radish incident" came from.

Harvest Queen

No one expected the recent
transplant to Ross county to
even place in this year’s
contest. Her threat to reveal
the recent “radish incident”
to the town council ensured
her crown, and revealed her
penchant for scandal. That
innocent smile may have
Farmer Brown fooled, but the
rest of us know her story!
