Where is all the damn sweetcorn?
I have seen precious little in the market and its like 50c an ear field corn.
Where's the crop?!! I am seriously jonesing
In someone’s gas tank?
It’s all over the place here on the East Coast.
Don’t know where you are but all our local markets have white sweet corn for 5/$1.00. And it is goooood!
Sadly I think you are correct.
The crop this year is weak
We live in Sonoma Country north of SF in CA. The weather has been so cool this summer that all the fruits and vegetables are weeks late ripening.
Growing in my garden. About another 4-5days it’ll be pig out time.
So out the exhaust comes kernels just like what you see in the toilet the next day
We have it all in Wisc. And, boy, is it good this year!
Sweet Corn in abundance here in Central NY.
We got bupkis here
We are growing our own.
Just outside of Sacramento on Hwy 16 there is a Farm, called Sloughhouse(never mind how it got it’s name)and they raise all sorts of veggies. Corn is their trademark crop, it is some of the best in the world and they sell it from a road side stand, along with the rest of their crops, for a dollar a bag. Can’t beat it, now and then when they have a bumper crop they sell some to a few supermarkets, not many though.
>>>In someone’s gas tank?
Sweet Corn is NOT the type used in ethanol production.
‘Horrible’ growing season hits Western Washington farmers
Agriculturists say the rainy start to Western Washingtons summer put a damper on all the crops. But the corn crop has been especially hard-hit - in some fields the corn stalks look more like weeds.
“We never had a day of 75 degrees until we got up into the first or second day of July,” says farmer Steve Schuh.
Schuh has been farming corn for more than two decades - and says he’s never had such a horrible season.
Don’t mean to rub it in, but I got some to die for at a Farmers’ Market yesterday. I asked the guy when he cut it and he said “about an hour ago.” Butter and salt, wrapped it in wax paper and 3 minutes in the ‘wave. Heaven.
Yep. I always figured the only real use for corn as food was to measure the velocity through the body of the other stuff you eat with it.
Can you send that to PO Box FM 1520 Greenville Tx?
