The super-sweet varieties available today don't make it quite as urgent, but most Iowans still don't buy corn at the supermarket, they want it picked and cooked at least the same day - that's why the stands are so popular if you don't grow your own. Nice you can get it there too.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060391185753177506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-24112021650047230422016-08-05T17:55:49.053-05:002016-08-05T17:55:49.053-05:00Even here is hot Phoenix we have Russian farmers w...Even here is hot Phoenix we have Russian farmers who grow sweet corn. Super good and $6 a dozen. I usually buy just 6 ears and she throws a couple extra in. <br />In Ohio we grew and sold our own. My mother was one of those "have the water boiling before picking the corn" so she would actually go pick the corn for customers when they stopped. Never any picked and laying around.
