My favorites are Peaches and Cream or just the white sweet corn. I've had the Kandy Korn Hybrid and it's good but to me not a lot different than plain old yellow corn.
WE were getting a lot of good stuff from the Amish who would set up a stand on Parvin Road just east of Chouteau Trafficway. They weren't around during covid but they are back. My wife got some giant maters the size of hedge apples last Friday I was suspicious as the skin was thick but damn were they delicious. |

A couple of years ago I went to a funeral in Jewell, KS about this time of year. It was super hot, 100 plus across north central Kansas. On the way home I stopped at Silver Lake, just outside Topeka and bought a bunch of corn from a farm stand. The ears were huge. When I got them home, they all had weird worms in the top tassle. I just cut the tops off of them, and the rest of the ears seemed to be fine. Only time I've ever seen that when buying corn.

They setup in a little Church parking lot north of Northland Rehabilitation. I think the church is called Open Door Baptist if I remember right. Last edited by srvy; 07-10-2021 at 09:25 PM.. |

NK yellow and white corn was the best. Not sure of the brand it is sold by anymore. Wife used to work for Novartis/NK/Golden Harvest/whatever the F it is now.
Soils also have a lot to do with it. Iowa corn is better than S. Missouri corn or Florida corn. The land is just better. |

Dad plants some under his pivot. It’s pretty good shit. He used to get a public variety out of Indiana that was really good, but it wasn’t Roundup Ready (million year old conventional seed). Too hard to manage independent of the rest of the field so he got some GMO stuff.
Candy Corn sucks. Quote:
Typically they’ve all got it. There is a Gene that can be spliced Mir-17 (IIRC) that kills them when they bite the husk. If you remember a few years ago China made a big deal of it and rejected some barges that led to a class action lawsuit against Syngenta, that’s the one. It’s fine. China gave no ****s about it, they were just out to wreck the corn market so they could buy it cheaper, which they did. In fact, those rejected barges they sent to Hong Kong, who bought them for pennies, and sold it back to the Chinese. But that’s why your corn is $7. They throw those out. Ear worms (without the gene which is more available all the time) are very common. But I’m sure they throw those out because a few fools (obviously not you) freak out ZOMG WORM IM NEVER BUYING THERE AGAIN hits Facebook and soccer moms don’t buy your stuff. Quote:
