Holloway's Detasseling
After the summer of 2010 and after 30 years I have officially retired from being a contractor for corn detasseling. Feel free to use this website for any information about what corn detasseling is and how it is done.

Welcome to Holloway's Detasseling.  An excellent summer job that gives you the opportunity to meet new friends,
earn money, win some fabulous prizes, and learn the exciting job of corn detasseling.  All this can be done in just a few
short weeks in the summer time and you can still enjoy most of your summer vacation.
