    #420 - Cheating, Lies & Corn Rakes - Earlville, Iowa

    This week, in Earlville, Iowa, problems enter the marriage of a farm couple, leading to cheating, and many hurt feelings. Tensions simmer, under the surface, and this all ends with someone having a large corn rake stuck in their back, and the spouse claiming that it they must have suffered an awful accident. The problem is, the evidence says otherwise. Also, weird behavior, a crazy 911 call, and even crazier internet searches lead to a conviction... but will it stand??


    Along the way, we find out that there isn't a lot of "rockin'" in this area, that no matter what your problems may be, the hogs still need to be fed, and that you can't accidentally fall on a corn rake, more than once!!
