    That sounds good.  My uncle is  a vegetable farmer and this is the first time I can recall he hasn't had sweetcorn. (His vegetable stand is surrounded with road construction and people can't get out to his stand) I think it okay with him. He usually has to stay up at night in his truck with his riffle picking off animals that eat his corn crop. He has the best sweetcorn I can find anywhere or have ever eaten.  Hand picked every morning.  It sucks that we can't get good corn but it gives my uncle a real deserved break from corn

    Lived in Iowa City for 3 years. The sweet corn is what we miss the most. Even IA pork comes second.

    @caliking, Man, that's a tough one.  

    I'd have to put IA Berkwood Berkshire at the top.
