We picked shucked and skinned 300 ears of sweet silver queen corn yesterday, or as my pal Rootsy calls it , chicken and hog feed.
There is more left on the cob. The count is down a bit but the yield is up. We have enough to eat corn 3times a week for the next year plus feed our 25 member Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings.
We still have about another hundred ears that will be ready in a week or so.
Ethanol fuel will not hit my pocketbook once again.

MG, we are corn eating fools.
Applestar, I'll tell you a secret if you swear to take it to your grave. We had a labor negotiation [coin toss] and I called skinning. So my wife and her sister went out in the heat and picked and shucked.
I stayed in the nice air conditioned kitchen and skinned it all. I think that's the way the Bible said it should be done, you know, wimminz outside in the heat, menz in the air conditioned kitchen. I know I read somewhere in the old testament.
