Each summer Nemire's Detasseling in Michigan hires hundreds of thirteen to sixteen year olds to work in their corn fields doing what is known as detasseling. It's a process where one goes row by row to remove the tops of corn in order to control pollination. VICE News follows 13-year old detassele.

A zaglądaliście tu? - oprogramowanie do biura rachunkowego , ok, ma dobre opinie. - Shoot I have to do this tomorrow morning. Field work is no joke💯
- I'm sorry, but blasting a tassel off of your boot is fun that only people in corn country truly understand. No throwing tassels... Pfft. You don't even throw them. You whip it off the bottom of your boot and a little piece will break off at something like the speed of light. You can aim them pretty good with a little practice too.
- I de tasseled corn as a kid. It was great money for my age and time. Very tough work to be sure. Helped to give me great work ethic.
- Minimum wage for detasseling?? I detasseled in Iowa in the mid to late 90s and made double the minimum wage. Find a different crew that will pay you better!

- People who do this job are stupid

- Several of my friends did this in the late 1970s, and made about $500 in just a few weeks (I had absolutely no desire to join them myself). They talked about wearing tank tops, shorts, and flip-flops the first time, and realized pretty quickly that the leaders were right - they were more comfortable in a flannel shirt, jeans, and boots.
- Damn. These kids are getting played. I got payed 13.50 to do this.
