My grandfather, Gust SCHARF, loved farming and had a farm near Knox, Indiana on which he raised prize corn crops. He is credited with single-handedly making sweet corn (as opposed to field corn for fodder) into an Indiana cash crop, and he was the champion corngrower in the state for a number of years. The story of how he enlisted the help of the Army stationed at Camp Atterbury, Indiana to help him do it is fascinating and is told in Volume II of the Falter-Scharf Family History.
