ebinmaine 69,680 #2 Posted July 3, 2023 Are those natural colors in your area or is that darker one a domestic release? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old saying in New England, Knee high by the 4th of July. We passed a cornfield the other day that was little more than half that because we haven't had any sun most of June. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our saying here as well, but lack of rain and hot dry sun has made us question the outcome this year… 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We passed a cornfield the other day that was little more than half that because we haven't had any sun most of June. That sweet corn was planted under plastic in early April. He plants two rows under each sheet of plastic with a soaker hose between the two rows. The plastic is removed when the corn starts to push it up. The plants are fed a fertilized water thru the soaker hose. He plants 4-6 rows every week for 8 weeks so he has corn ready July thru Sept. Currently selling for $6-10 a dozen at the Amish auction. Most of it goes to Baltimore, NY, and Philly. The field corn had a slow start due to the hot dry spring. But the past two weeks of rain has pushed it up to over 6'. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The crop timing is interesting as you move from south to north. Down in the Texas coastal plains (Brownsville to Corpus Christy) the saying would be combining dryed field corn by July 4th. Then 250 miles away where I am it’s the end of sweet or field corn roasting ears. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
