And, on that note, a lesser-known fact of little importance:

If you have an engine-out emergency, which field should you choose:
Corn or soybean?

Answer: Corn. Even if it's 9 feet tall, and the beans are only 9
inches tall, you should still choose the corn. The beans are intensely
intertwined, and tightly tangled -- and they will grab at your landing
gear and flip you. The corn might wreck your wings, but they won't
catch your gear.

You must of heard this from Roger Clark too. I didn't learn about this or
about snow covered runways during my training in Oklahoma. These are some of
the things I learned at the Wings seminars in Iowa.
