I believe broom straw that you are speaking of is actually not straw but
broom corn tops if i am not mistaken---the corn tops are harvisted just
as the corn is---

have seen them make brooms there myself and they do a good job---a bit
pricy when they sell them.  they now buy commercial grown tops and not as
it was when silver doller city first opened---they got their straw from
"School of the ozarks"  which is a school that allowd the students to
work for their tuition and that was a way to produce income for the
students.
