Let’s face it, we all have had at least one job in our life that was downright bizarre! Days of Our Lives Star, Carson Boatman, is no different! In a recent chit-chat session, the Johnny actor reflected back to his younger years and spilled some tea about this rather unforgettable summer job he once had!
While speaking with Soap Opera Digest, Carson divulged that in his junior year of high school when he worked for a company called Pioneer. The company produces, markets, and sells hybrid seed corn in as many as 70 countries. He revealed that while he was working there for his summer job, they would bus him and his colleagues to the corn fields at 6 am!
“We’d walk the rows from about 6 am to 6 pm and help them do what’s called pollinating corn,” he explained. If you’re confused, well here’s the explanation. “We would take paper bags, put them on top of one strand of corn, let it sit, and let the pollen collect in the bags, Carson elaborated.
Getting into more detail, he explained that they would leave the paper bags on the corn for about a week. Then, they’d return to the same field, retrieve the bag, and put it on others in a different cornfield. “It would cross-pollinate and make hybrid corn,” he explained. Camron admitted that it wasn’t all that fun when they were actually doing it.
However, now when he thinks back to those days, he does so rather fondly! Well, we have to admit Carson has indeed come a long way from pollinating corn, to making women swoon over him with his absolutely charming portrayal of Johnny on DOOL.
