There's so much to write about that happens on the farm each day, but I'm such a poor writer and have a hard time making time to write!
Lots of good crops coming your way this week.
We will have lots more sweet corn for the next 3 weeks, but there is a good chance that you will find a corn ear worm in your corn. Each year, the later harvests of sweet corn have more ear worm damage.
Organic growers are not able able to use "Bt sweet corn" that has been genetically engineered with a protein that kills certain caterpillars.
We have 3 Options-
- Don't give our customers sweet corn late in the season
- Cut the tip of the sweet corn off that contains the ear worm
- Leave the tip of the sweet corn on risking that you might get a worm.
