There's nothing better than a fresh ear of corn with butter, salt & pepper. (Am I right?)  I usually steam it but I also like it grilled. Either way I've always shucked it then cooked it. So I am eager to try the shucking technique this guy shares: 

Have you ever done that? Looks pretty slick! 

How do you prefer to eat fresh summer sweet corn?

Due to maintenance and repairs our Alden warehouse will not be able to load SuperCal 98G this week. Please pick up your loads at our Gilmore City location. 

The issues should be remedied this week; everything should be back to normal by Monday. If you want to double-check the status before dispatching your trucks or you have other questions, please call our office at 1.800.255.8196.

Thank you for your patience!

We are proud to be a major sponsor of the Practical Farmers of Iowa field days this year. Topics range from pesticide drift monitoring to strip-tillate, organic crops, no-till, GMOs, tree crops and more. You'll hear research results and discuss innovative practices while networking with your fellow Iowa farmer. It sounds like you'd meet some pretty amazing folks and taste some delicious food too! Learn more about the field days and how you can attend.
