Roqueing is walking the rows in the fields digging or pulling up weeds. It is a hot long job. I never rogued but had friends who did. I detasseled which is walking the rows of cornfields and pulling all the tassels off the cornstalks. Wet or scratchy corn blades can and usually do cause corn rash. It is also a hot hot job and we would see rats and snakes. I was 15 when I started and did it for 3 yrs. We would sing and laugh alot. I always came home so hot and tired and after as shower would zonk out and sleep. We had to be up at 4 in the morning to start the day in the cool air before the heat hit too bad.
