started pulling corn today, made the kids do it with some simple training. They gently twisted right off with out damaging the stalks. The corn was atleast 2/3 developed and we could really see the importance of proper spacing so that the pollen gets where it needs to. We will cook it tommorow. very happy, its silver queen corn and all white. very nice, I have more on the stalk that I hope will continue to develop. If not we have probably 20 more half cobs then.
