Ahoy Jim!

-> 
-> It's subtle. Two day old corn suffers quite a bit though.
-> 
Two days is a far cry from a few hours.

->  HN> when I

-> 
-> Corn suffers from freezing too but fresh frozen is still better than
-> stale frozen!
->
Yep, and I always froze it fresh.

-> 
-> OK space certainly counts in urban yards. I was thinking back to my
-> youth; I grew up on a 50 acre lot with 4 acres cleared and 2 acres of
-> that was in gardens and berry patches.
->
If I had acres and acres to play with I'd
certainly grow corn, enough to put
up for the winter as well. 
But I, like most folks don't
have that much space.
  
->  -> As well the growers select their varieties based on tons per acre
->  -> yield, not maximum taste.
-> 
->  HN> Bull hockey. The commercial growers who

->  HN> at least around here they do.
->  HN> We have lots of farmers markets and 
->  HN> fierce competition, corn growers 
->  HN> go for the better heirloom varieties
-> 
-> You're lucky. The last time I was in Ontario I found all the road
-> side stands selling either field corn or super sweet corn.
->
I'd have gone for the field corn!
Makes good fried corn or parched 
corn. 
 
-> Alberta doesn't have the right climate for good corn. In the
-> southern portion, around Taber, some is grown and Taber corn is
-> considered quite good by Westerners but it doesn't come close to
-> Ontario corn. We get Taber corn trucked here seasonally but it is at
-> best two to three days old when it arrives and no big deal. It also
-> never gets cheaper than three for a dollar. It is much cheaper in
-> Taber of course.
->
Of course when you can't get
local grown stuff it's more
pricey. 
 
->  HN> OR they go for the super sweet
->  HN> corn...
-> 
-> An abomination!
->
Agreed!!
 
-> How to improve field corn or old corn...
->
