The phrase "perception is reality" is indeed true.
That is why blind testing is performed.
Even the individual performing the testing can give clues to the tester. That is why double blind tests are performed.

As for the other various questions, I didn't have a tape measure when I stopped and the farmer was driving semi that day and other family members off to different day jobs which is how many small farms work these days. They are just raising chickens, ducks, turkeys and eggs as they have done for decades and as their Father, Grandfather in this case did before them. I know one farmer of about 85 whose family settled in Wisconsin in the 1840's and there is a large stone where the original Great Grandparents are buried commemorating the dates. This will be the first Summer he will only raise sweet corn, leaving the vegetable business behind. -Dick
