sweet corn

[glenn57]

has anyone bought any local sweet corn yet???????? how was it?? when i picked up my pickles at becks monday they had what they called local sweet corn. they wanted 7 bucks a dozen and looked like small ears.

i'm looking down the road to get some done up and put in the freezer. as it becomes more widely available it should go down in price so i might wait. be nice to get off my to do list.

Sounds like Dotch's got some 'cause he's fixin it for his company tonight. When we left home the family that sells it to most of NE Ia said they were a week away yet after the late cool Spring in the local newspaper. They pretty much cover at least a 50 mile radius with 20-30 pickups full when they're goin, even sellin to the local grocery stores. Good stuff too!

i've been really liking the bi-colored corn. my buddy where mt aspargus is at usually has some good stuff. the stuff i bought last year at this becks was darn good too!!!!!!!

there used to be someone that sold sweet coen on the corner of where 46 and the road that goes to highbanks by the gosh dam place. they still do that there????????

this is really gonna hurt, but i gotta agree reb......that peaches and cream is good stuff!!!!!!!!!

[Rebel SS]

That wasn't so hard, was it!  Problem is, ya see so many adverting Candy corn and it's a weird variety, or just bi-color. Had some lousy ones that shoulda been good.
I remember the good ol' days when Jubilee was the best around. Farmers here grew a lot of it for Libby's in town. I even heard that a lot of teen-agers would get sackfuls of it at nite out of the fields while out drinking beer on country roads...

Hard to beat Harringtons, that's what theirs is too, down home. Hy Vee & Fareway can't hardly sell theirs unless they get it from the Nashua boys.

I don't remember ever seeing somebody sellin corn at GDP. Usually there's someone from up on the north end, between Sand & Little Sand, who grows a lot of veggies to sell that will have a truck with corn & set at the Cenex In DR though. We didn't get any last year but the year before we did & it was some good stuff.

Was wonderin    if'n you didn't mean that place, Ken's Greenhouse is what it's called. Don't think  we've ever gotten any sweet corn there but my brother bought some tomato plants there the last couple years when he couldn't find any that he liked in GR.
