What a Difference a Month Makes

The hot dry summer has done wonders for the corn here in the Boistfort Valley. After watching the local pea and bean harvest come off, which for the commodities growers in this area had to border on disaster, I am pleased to report that the corn looks wonderful.

What started out as a nice planting of Bodacious and Mystique, with a little Sugar Buns thrown in for an early harvest, has matured into the nicest corn crop we have grown in years.


We look forward to a light harvest for the weekend and a full blown concern for the next month.

The corn is awesome!
We are enjoying it roasted in the oven in its husks - faster than boiling.
Also try sauteing the kernels in butter with garlic and jalapenos - OLE!
