Cob Pile

Nobody remembers Nikita K.


Probably no one remembers Roswell Garst either, the Iowa farmer who became pals with him back in the fifties.


You can still buy Garst seed corn, one of the first seed companies to promote hybrids. Avant Garde ag economists and political fear-mongers of the day wanted to share the "Green Revolution" with the commies. The idea was that well-fed Rooskies would be less likely to carry out Nikita's threat: Мы вас похороним!.
