corn planting
Spring field work
Corn planting is the agricultural activity of sowing corn seeds, typically in spring when soil temperatures allow germination.
The phrase often appears in farming calendars and rural contexts to mark a seasonal milestone: We're behind on corn planting this year.
In American history, corn planting was central to both Native American agriculture and colonial survival.
