We should have some great corn this year

Glad to see that it's raining regularly early on in the Midwest for a nice corn season. Last year's drought was a bitch. This year it should be "knee high by the Fourth of July".
I loves me some corn.

I can't wait to eat repeated meals of corn and homegrown tomatoes. The only thing about the heat of summer that I enjoy. Throw in some purple hull peas and it's a trifecta.

Apples and cherries round out the bounty in the North.....and some pan fish ftw.

We'll be eating corn in June and I will have it as often as possible. I wish the season wasn't so short.

I looooove corn. I hated it as a child and refused to eat it. Now.. I'm in love.

corn is an excellent tracer

Removing the kernels from an ear of corn then using the left overs corn cobs for a stock is the only way to pull off soups.

can't wait
We get our corn from a farmer in central LA. I have no idea what type he grows, but it's the best, most tender, most sweet corn I've ever had. It's amazing. I swear you can eat it raw it's so tender. Last year we only got 1/2 sack, but this year we are getting 2 sacks. That should last us all summer.
I've tried buying corn from several of the farmers around here (Shreveport), but none of their corn even compares.

Maybe no drought in the midwest, but it ain't rained in a while around here.
But looking forward to some Maque Choux soon.

The Mennonite farmers from Bradley, Arkansas usually sell their corn at the Shreveport Farmer's market. It's pretty good but they usually sell out pretty quickly and the lines can be long.

cherries
My lake house is where the majority of this countries cherries come from. Last year they lost the whole crop because of a late frost. Hopefully it will be avoided this summer.

Degas, that old field corn the grow in the Midwest ain't no good. Most of it is not really even for human consumption. The good stuff is grown here in the south, mainly in truck patches. I'm ready for some G-90 myself.

This gonna have to help with beef prices at some point, huh?
That's all feed they're growin' up there?

Feed and gasoline and whiskey. Only a very small amount of field corn goes to human food. And most of that is meal. It's the same here in the delta as it is in the corn belt. Your big corn farming operations arnt growing corn you directly eat.
Re beef prices- a bumper crop in the Midwest will help a little, but not much. Corn is being used for so much other shite now days it doesn't lower feed cost a whole helluva lot

Where's your lake house? Are you a UPer? My Mother makes a killer Choke Cherry jelly. They're sort of like Mayhaw berries in that they're very tart when eaten raw, so they need some sweetness help. The wild bears literally push the trees over and munch on them.
And yes Balls, most Midwestern corn will be headed for feed, gas tanks and the likes, but you can still find some beautiful corn.
I have fond memories from decades ago when I was a lad. Roadside farmers in the rural North selling large grocery bags of corn for 25 cents. Since it was freshly picked you could eat it raw because the sugars don't get a chance to change into starch. Awesome childhood memories.
No matter what I'm preparing, every time my grill is going I try to have fresh corn on it.

Mine makes the best cherry pie I have ever had. Have to be up there at the right time when the sours are ready. Usually later in the summer. The Queen Anne's are earlier.

They eat them pasties where you're from like the do in the UP? Those things are awesome. Like a big fat meat pie with rutabagas.

I miss Michigan. Mackinac Island, cherries, apples, the old IHL, smoked chubs, Bell's beer, mayflies (kidding about the mayflies...I remember snowplows needing to plow the streets of these insects because they would be inches deep in the roads. We actually couldn't find our hotel one time because their sign was completely covered in these things.)
