There just ain't nothin' like really fresh sweet corn Jon......Reminds me of a story though.

I knew this guy who moved here from New Jersey and had never been around a farm much, pretty much a city guy. Columbus is completely srrounded by farmland and we get some really great corn from the guys who pick it and sell it on the corners.....maybe as fresh as you get without growing your own. Ron just loved it and I told him that if he could pick some and eat it right away, he'd like it even more.

So Ron's driving down a back road one evening and noticing the corn in this one field. It looked ready to pick to him and had really large ears. He was on a back road so seeing no traffic and no one around, he quickly parked and stole a few ears. He went straight home and boiled them up and...........the next day he said, "Pat, that was the worst corn you could ever imagine. It was tough and I could barely eat it!" After making a few jokes about ill-gotten gains, I explained the difference between Field/Feed corn and sweet corn and how to tell the difference.
