"Volcano Insurance Corn"

I planted my volcano insurance corn today. In 1816, in New England, it snowed every month of the summer. Mount Krakatoa went off in 1815 and filled the northern hemisphere with a cloud of dust that cooled the whole northern hemisphere. One variety of corn, grown by the Abenaki Indians of Calais, VT, an 80 day corn, matured. All other varieties did not mature to harvest that year. Many of the settlers in New England moved, as a result of this. Fedco Seed in Maine, sells this variety.
