Do you bother husk it, desilk it, or rinse it

Grazing is one of the delights of organic gardening.

You must be a chemical user, no need to rinse in a organic garden.

Who cooks sweet corn? Raw, fresh out of the husk is the best way to eat it while standing in the field.

The grocery stores are cheaper $5/dz but I like getting it fresh and you can tell just by the silk if it is fresh. NEVER buy corn when the silk has been trimmed OR when it is all dried up. It is not frsh.
I pay $6/dz at the farm stand and have no regrests about it. Corn is here for this short season and we going enjoy and store the best quality possible.
