The best sweet corn from long ago was a white 'shoe peg'. I forget the name. Not super sweet like corn (which is too sweet imo) but had an actual CORN flavor. Loved that stuff. The rows of kernels held the butter better because of the loose fit. Never store bought, always from the garden and you didn't pick it until you had the pot on the stove with water already starting to steam.

Nice video again. Good to show the work farmers put into providing fresh food. Not sure about your customers and what they think, but I would think the mini wagon as a novelty would be good for conversation at the market. Actually a good use for it too, planned or not haha

Hey Jacob,Great to see a summer video from you when Here in NW Missouri its cold and damp.I love summer and not so much on winter.I agree with you on yellow corn as not the hot seller.I own 3 businesses and I am the general manager of the Lamoni Iowa produce auction.It is primarily Amish grown produce and the yellow corn(Incredible mostly)sells well early but as soon as white corn or even better yet,Bicolor hits the auction yellow corn is then a give away and fades out for the year.Believe it or not we were getting up to $7 a dozen at auction for sweet corn this year.We sell to mostly resellers that take it to farmers markets in the big cities around us.I cant imagine what those big city people were paying for it.Since covid and with inflation our auction market has been real strong.Heck I found out that our resellers were selling pumpkins this year by the pound for .52 cents a pound at the farmers market.We at the auction end of it were trying to figure out how the buyers were buying pumpkins at the auction for so much $$$ and still making a profit,Well imagine our suprise when we found that out!! People want high quality produce and are willing to pay a large premium for it and the Amish in our auction grow the best quality hands down and they grow it by the ton!! Thank you for the video,I look forward to all your adventures!

That little gravity flow wagon works great. I remember husking corn by hand as late as the 1960s. Wet spot in the field go around it with the picker come back and hand picked it. I was in grade school at the time. Walk in a muddy field and tractor and wagon maybe 25 ft away. Got good at throwing corn in the wagon. Miss.and had a second chance to put the ear in the wagon. The good old days

You do that all by hand? I live in Boston, sheltered in the asphalt jungle, I know nothing about farming, small farming or agri-business. I like your life. it's hard, but good. Honest. I wish I knew more of it.

The Uni isn’t meant or made, to pick sweet corn, especially for the fresh market. It would take modifications, such as removing the husking bed, to pick sweet corn for canning purposes. That is not what Boehm Farms has the Uni for. Their picker is for picking regular ear corn to feed to their own cattle and to sell to other customers, presumably for feed as well.

There are sweet corn pickers on the market, but they're much gentler and a different design than the typical corn picker intended for dry corn. Sweet corn is still green and very wet, and a regular corn picker or corn head would really demolish and mangle the ears if it'd pick it at all without plugging up. Usually sweet corn pickers for fresh corn use belts and other mechanisms to pull the ears or twist them off the stalks with a minimum of bruising and crushing, which a regular dry corn picker would do to fresh green corn. Dry corn ears and stalks are much easier to handle mechanically...

That IS a cute little gravity wagon. My question is (and I truly don't mean to be critical) doesn't it bruise the sweetcorn when you throw it into the wagon that way? Just curious.
