Our sweet corn crop presents a mid-season picking. We grow a super-sweet variety that needs warm soil for germination. This was a good year for the start, but the real drought has hampered development. A few ripe tomatoes add to a nice picture as the shucking process begins.
The corn cools after blanching. We use both sides of the sink with cold water soaks from our 200-foot deep well. The water is real cold and does a good job of getting the corn ready for cutting.
Each individual ear gets stripped with a sharp knife. As this is unskilled labor, Bill has gotten pretty good at it after 30+ years of practice!
