No Iowa Sweet Corn On 4th

QUOTE
Sweet corn purists who demand the Iowa-grown variety at their cookouts will be disappointed this Fourth of July weekend.

A double punch of a cold spring and then wet fields has delayed the locally grown sweet corn that is one of Iowa's most visible symbols. Those who want the treat for holiday cookouts will have to settle for corn grown mostly in Georgia and Florida.

"I didn't think it would be this bad, but this will be the first time in years we won't have our own sweet corn for the Fourth of July," said Boone sweet corn grower Scott Wilber.



I think it is sad we can not get our own Iowa sweet corn for this holiday because of the year we have had. I hope it does improve.

I know in the past we have enjoyed home grown sweet corn during our BBQs and camping in early July. This year it is a strain to even find sweet corn.

Thanks for sharing that Krakyn! laugh.gif! Just kidding I just made some cherry rhubarb jam so I could use up a bunch and it is already ready to pick again! Any good recipes?

As for the sweet corn, being in Alaska, I really never experienced REAL sweet corn until my friend and I brought back some from our trip to Utah last year! WOW! Nothing like it! I hope we can get some more this year at the end of August. Your must be like our salmon here, something everyone wants (if they like it) but hard to get..well I guess everything in Alaska is hard to get and even harder for us to get it up here. I forgot what real fruit tasted like!

I am very blessed where I live we have very stable crops and weather, one reason I really do not think I would move too far. I am spoiled rotten.

I just throw rhubard in any whre any other fruit would go, Pancakes, muffins, bread. You might really liike to try and make instate of apple crisp rhubard crisp and sugar it to you liking (I like to add honey makes it zippier). I should be posting in the recipie area but I really have no recipe just winging it all the time.

Makes a great juice base as well.

For the corn yup sweet corn rocks I like peaches and cream but it is over done in my area. Used to be early sweet corn/cow corn fist then regular sweet corn, early peaches and cream then the regular corn followed by the peaches and cream and indian corn. Now it is almost impossible to get any but the peaches and cream corn.

Cow corn is good eating just have to get it before it starts turning too yellow so it is tender to eat.

Now cow corn is very good if you wait till it dries and the make corn flour out of it. Makes things taste better. Iowa sweet corn is some of the best tasting sweet corn there is, at least I think so.

Yes the use of rhubarb in any recipe that calls for fruit is very good. Nothing beats a nice rhubarb pie or a nice rhubarb crisp.

Yes we used to grind corn all the time at my grandfathers. It does takes good much better then the stuff from a store. I guess just less processed.

That is it exactly. Less processed less additives. I need to get a grinding wheel to make my own flour. I also need to plant a garden next year to get my own Iowa home grown sweet corn. smile.gif
