Picked up a doz fresh cut from the downtown farmers market yesterday. Either I got lucky or this has been a great year for sweet corn. Easily in the top 3 best ever!! Sweet, juicy, tender pop with each mouth watering bite. Man was that good stuff. Hope I can track this guy down again.

We’ve had really good luck with the stuff from 101 Market in Otsego this year too. Talked to Dad last night. He said his is going to be really late due to the wet spring. It’s just putting on the ears now.
So far we’ve had poor luck getting good corn this year but I heard Shurhammers corn is in and they are always good. 
Lots of it down my way 
Got some yesterday from a Guy selling in a church parking lot in Savage – Not good !!!! It looked good but not sweet. Hope I have better luck next time
I intended to make this thread last night 
Stopped at the Farmer’s Market in Burnsville yesterday, looked at a bunch of corn, decided on Zywiec’s from Cottage Grove, said was fresh picked that morning, I have no doubt, first thing I noticed is how heavy it was, it felt heavier then you would expect. Boiled it up for dinner last night it was really good!
We’ve been seeing and eating fresh corn a couple weeks now in Rochester. Stands are everywhere but the best I have had in recent years came from the Rochester Produce Store on second street southwest. Try $2.00/dozen….all locally grown. We got 14 ears and didn’t see a tough kernal in any of them. They tasted like they’d been sugared.
i have had a great crop this year, likely due to all the rain.
have been eatin it for 2 weeks, have put away a dozen bags in freezer and just picked 2 dozen more ears this morning.
i live on the edge of town and the dang deer have ate about a dozen ears!!!

We’ve got corn and stuff from them for many years now, always good.
They have corn in now???

The other good part of sweet corn season…sweet corn girls! I have a buddy that has bought a bag of corn just because of who was selling it then threw the corn away.

Fact: Polacks grow the best corn.
Fact: Polacks are the best at everything.
Fact: I had to Google Polack to make sure I was spelling it right.
Yep, down here in Iowa, the sweet corn is pretty easy to find. Nothing like a nice BLT and some sweet corn. Wash it down with a nice big glass of ice tea, and boy do you have a treat! The tomatoes down here are the size of pumpkins, need to get some bigger bacon 
Fact… the use of that word is considered derogatory…
A friend of mine grows GREAT sweet corn… he is a kraut 
Anyone have a recomendation for great corn south of Mpls about 15-20 miles.
Have not have great corn for years now. I’m disappointed every year.
thanks,
Jack
Haven’t had any luck over here in Hudson either
The sweetcorn (is) good down here in Iowa Steve with large full ears and sweet. It started selling for 6$ a dozen and then went too 5$. My gardens full of tomatoes but none are ripe yet. The farmers are setting an all time record this year for field corn. From what I heard its so big its an all time record and a bin buster with the rain and the heat.
If a person drives through West Salem, WI. and does not stop to purchase sweet corn from Jolivette’s you have no idea what you are missing 
I can make a meal out of grilled in the husk sweet corn all by it’s self 
Corn has no value to the human body other than taste.It is for feeding to the animals we intend to eat, not human consumption.This is fact,not an opinion.
Sugar and starches ??? No value ??? Facts ??? I think not… now nutritional value….

I am 100% Polish, like other derogatory terms, it gives me the right to use it. Anyway, as a Pole (Better?), you learn to not take life and jokes too seriously.
G, are you Polish? That would explain us butting heads sometimes.

Didn’t your mom tell you about if you don’t have anything nice to say, stay out of the thread?
Fact: Corn has health benefits as it brings emotional and mental well being to the person eating it in the form of a smile.

Nope, crybaby pee pants.
How did this thread go from a good sweet corn thread to a couple of punks having a peeing contest?
Play nice or play somewhere else.
our church’s youth group has a stand we go out each am and pick a truck load. Even though we are dry as a bone here, we must have had enough soil moisture to get the corn into high gear, it is awesome stuff. On the grill
Shurhammer’s from Kellogg has GREAT corn, just had some last night. They make it to the Red Wing farmers market too!!
