I gotta say Travis you are the hardest working man on YT. I'll champion that work ethic *all day every day* ! Side note, the family decided to get together tonight and pop some corn and binge watch your new channel together. We have our notebooks and pencils handy! #friday_night_LDF_family_night Keep those videos coming, we are planning on making this a weekly event. Much love to you and the family ❤️🙏❤️

Wowser. Y'all look whupped. Might want to mix in a little sleep now and then. I appreciate the way you grade tough on your variety trials and the plain speech on which ones get the thumbs down and why. Good looking corn harvest there and, yes friends, it's worth it.

[@LazyDogFarm]

We have pretty high standards as far as varieties go because our climate is so demanding. Glad you enjoy that aspect.

[@drddianesbryant]

Greetings from Gainesville, GA! When my mother would pick lots and lots of corn, she would hold an ear in her left hand and make a slice toward herself and make a swipe scrape of the ear away from her. When she made her way around the ear, she would flip it and scrape it the other way. She could go through an ear in no time flat and didn’t waste a morsel! I can close my eyes and watch her. Such sweet memories!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Sounds like she was a pro! Bet that was fascinating to watch.

[@steffaniewalz8444]

Travis, we used to do small pick-up loads of corn. What we used was electric knives to cut the corn off.. and then used a butter knife to get the cream out. It went really fast. When we shucked it.. the peeled corn, we tossed in a cattle tank full of water and then got it out and started canning. Now, mind you, we were a big family and set up like an assembly line. If you want you can use a baking dish to cut into .... or, if you get a bundt pan you can use the raised hole to hold your corn, your choice. But try the electric knife just once and see what you think. Good Job!

[@LazyDogFarm]

I do have a couple electric knives that we use to clean fish. Might have to try that.

[@MarkSmith-qk2rl]

I agree don’t stop til that big girl sings. I like doing that with field corn to fry it. Man my mouth is watering, thinking bout it !

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks for watching!

[@Twistedsquirrel317]

My parents have always used that contraption you wasted $12 bucks on lol. We always had the crap job of shucking and silking and the adults did the cutting. Last year I got a whole lot of corn that was left out of my grandad's garden that no one else wanted. So we brought it all home and I got a crash course on cutting off the cob. It took a couple to get the hang of it but once I got my groove going I rather enjoyed it. The key is to blanch the corn BEFORE cutting off the cob, so it slides right through there real easy. But when you say you make a mess, you ain't lying! Lord, the driveway and table and truck bed and cooler and all of us had corn everywhere! I think I got 25 quart bags full of "funeral corn." When we were kids, we had corn in the freezer every year from grandaddy's garden. We had corn coming out of our ears it seemed, so it was always the dish my mom made when someone from the church called and said there was gonna be a funeral and could we provide and dish for the dinner after. She would cook it up in the skillet with a lot of butter and "skillet corn" became known as "funeral corn".

[@LazyDogFarm]

We love skillet corn! Yeah I think the contraption would work better on a more tender variety of corn or cobs that had been preblanched.

Love seeing your family in this video! Great info!

[@markfrost1142]

Used one of them wooden corn creamers forever. We will use the tool for 4 or 5 ears then use a knife to cut a couple of ears. That way it gives the right mixture of kernels and cream.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Good idea. Mix it up so you get the consistency you want.

[@candacethompson2521]

That is some really nice looking ears of corn. About 5 years ago I bought one of those wooden boards like you did, to cut corn off cob. I did not like it at all. On about the 3rd ear I cut my finger, bad. I had to call for backup from my sons and their families to finish cutting it off cob. I'll stick to my sharp paring knife... We always shuck on the back porch, have the pans already at a boil, 3 minutes, put in ice water, drain, lay out on hugh towles, and start to cutting. Normally put in 2 cup freezer bags, for my hubby and mine , and lie flat, makes easier to stack. I so love having corn in the freezer. I tried canning half of our corn one year, nope, not doing that again. Not as long as I have a freezer. You all take care...

[@LazyDogFarm]

Sorry to hear about you finger. We’ve never tried canning it. Freezing is the way to go for us.

[@cathyscroggins1420]

My grandmother always used the corn scraper just like the one you bought. She would use a knife and cut of the tips of the kernels then use the corn scraper to get the pulp. We like the mushy texture, I guess. Then she would blanche it on the stove. I don’t know how many cups she put in a bag, all I remember is her saying it took around 12 ears to a bag. The corn scraper is a lil booger and you have yo watch your fingers so they don’t get scraped too.

[@LazyDogFarm]

12 ears to the bag is pretty good! Sounds like she knew what she was doing.

[@joesprouse4277]

Travis I'm shocked you aren't using the kernel kutter . After I shucked and silked 120 Ears of corn, I cut and creamed them all in about 15 minutes. The one I have adjust to size of the Cobb while using it you just squeeze it more or less as needed and tilt it slightly to cream it as you are coming back off the Cobb. We absolutely love it. So much easier and so little time . The corn was delicious. Peaches and cream corn. Yummy!!!

[@LazyDogFarm]

I probably need to just take some time and adjust it, although the kernels on this Yellowstone were considerably more "crunchy" than something like Peaches & Cream which we've grown in the past.

[@jonlewis6630]

Thank you Lazy Dog... I really like this style of video. I learned a lot, and also confirmed I do it right too. My mother cooked the cut and scraped corn in a big iron skillet. I blanch mine in a big pot. We like our corn like yall do

[@LazyDogFarm]

Skillet corn is delicious. Some years we’ve just done whole kernels and that’s a great way to cook it.

Wooo Hooo! Corn stash is secure! Don't you just love to pull out a bag of that gold when it's freezing cold in the dead of winter! Like a belly full of summertime! I freeze whole ears and off the cob too. I'm a good bit behind you this year. Funky spring weather!

We use a lot of corn that's soaked and put on the grill to make Mexican street corn 🌽

[@1bonniesbluestar]

My brother made me one of those kind you use a drill with but the screen on the inside is spring loaded. It works great for us... we are able to use it for every single ear BUT it does create a lot of juice. So we run half the corn through that thing and just cut the kernels off like how you were doing. That way it's not super runny. Thank you for all the tips!

[@LazyDogFarm]

That's a good idea to do half one way and half the other way to get a good consistency.

[@debbiemoore9069]

Also use a knife that you use to cut up fish with. It's thin and flexible it's the best knife to use if you don't want that much cream in with your corn

[@LazyDogFarm]

Yep. A good filet knife works well. I believe that's what I used last year.

@@LazyDogFarm Maturity dates were so close, within 5 days, so it worked. Also, I staggered a couple of rows to accommodate and was able to pick over a handful of days so it didn't require picking all on the same day :- ) Think I'll try it again next year paying closer attention to the maturity dates and staggering planting by the days required; gonna be fun!

Man I'm glad I found you Travis. I've been missing my guy. My 82 mother said she approves of your methods. We put up both creamed and on the cob. The only difference would be she blanches the corn by running it threw the dishwasher. Of course no soap and no dry cycle. You also don't have to get all the silks off and it doesn't heat up your kitchen. Great job and love the family.

Some of the best memories of my childhood are putting up corn with my grandparents. My grandfather and I would pick it early of a morning. I remember being soaking wet from the dew still on the plants. We would pick a whole trailer load of it. My grandfather and I would shuck it as my grandmother and neighbors would silk. We would then set up a big cutting and blanching operation in the kitchen. Fond memories for sure.

Thanks for sharing all this with us! Love that you took us past the picking and showed us the processing. Last yr I blanched my ears whole, then cooled them, and froze them in foodsaver bags that way. I would cook them in the instant pot straight from the freezer in about 10 minutes when it came time to use it. A lot less time consuming when it comes to hands on time. I did cut some off the cob and can it but it seemed like so much work for such a small amount canned, so I went the freezer route. So thankful for you continuing your videos and teaching us after your departure from Hoss. Praying for peace for you in that situation.

The best way I've found to get the air out of a ziplock bag: fill your sink 3/4 full of water, fill the bags and close the bag leaving 1" of air gap at the top, slowly submerge the bag leaving just the opening above water, Then when it looks like all the air is out, seal the bag. The water pressure on the bag forces just about all the air out. Much easier than trying to suck the air out. Try it!

My fav cucumber is Marketmore 76 - oldie but goodie. That's some nice looking corn. I like that handy-dandy brush for the silks. ❤️🙏

We try to do a "winners and losers" segment each time we're done with a particular crop. Stay tuned for more ...

Thanks Robert!

Corn looks great. Brings back big memories for me as well. I lived for a long time between my grandmother and her sister. They/the family/ we grew four acres or so of gardens. Actually had our own “canning shed” where we cooked all the vegetables down and canned in mason jars. We pre-made corn MacChous (sp) for later uses. Digging the music choice, and I sure could use a deal on a SeaHunt from that boat place. LOL

[@LazyDogFarm]

I love the idea of a canning shed. That would be nice to have one day. Put a drain in the floor so you can just wash down the whole thing when you’re done.

Putting up sweet corn is worth all the work! I'm hoping to have some to put up. It is nice to have the summer taste of sweet corn in the winter. We walked beans in the morning because it was cooler but I hated the wet leaves too.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Yes! Corn in the winter is great to have!

Tip for get all the air out if you don't have a food saver, use water. Fill a pot/bowl with water and take your zip lock baggy (zip baggy leaving 1 inch open to let air escape) and slowly put bag in water. Once it's about a quarter inch from being submerged, zip. It doesn't get all the air out but gets the majority.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Good tip. Seems like I have seen that done before.

Grandfathers farm, south-central Kentucky in the mid/late 60's, raised Tobacco. We would also have get up early, go into a wet tobacco field and de-sucker and remove the flower tops. I would come out of that field with all that wet tobacco residue covering me Higher than a Kite. - Low Country Boil :-), Crawlfish or Shrimp ?

[@LazyDogFarm]

We use shrimp. Crawfish aren’t as easy to get over here.

[@suzym8166]

Just Yum, if only I could climb through the screen love love corn. Growing corn for the first time this year, I hope it looks as nice as yours.

[@LazyDogFarm]

We hope so too!

[@pamt8430]

I am loving this channel!! Thinking about growing corn and trying to figure out where on a small city lot...will just freeze the ears. LOL!!

[@LazyDogFarm]

That works too! Hope your able to find a good spot.

[@david.6040]

Yum Low Country Boil!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Yum indeed!

I put up two blue bird houses 20 years ago. I get one or two birds nesting. I have not had one worm the whole time.

[@LazyDogFarm]

All-natural control! I like it!

[@georgestewart5814]

You do nice work!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks George!

[@BosnWayne]

Travis, I learnt something last year. Get you a Bundt cake pan, set the corn over the part that comes up thru the middle, then cut the corn off with a bread knife. The kernels will fall in the pan, Then you can dump it in your containers. A canning funnel helps put it in your bags after that.

[@LazyDogFarm]

That sounds much easier than the way I was doing it.

[@mutantryeff]

The best thing I've used for cutting corn is an electric knife - cut and then scrape the back of the knife across the cobs.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Brooklyn suggested that as well. Sounds like it would work.

[@jerrygeorgopolis8015]

Travis, That is beautiful bunch of corn !!!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks Jerry!

[@dmaingarden9951]

Love your team effort! I tried them gadgets too...I went right back to the trusty knife too! Thanks for sharing. Bless y’all!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Just feel more comfortable with a knife I’m used to using.

[@vonwiggleding]

This video helped alot! my squash and zucchini were going gang busters and they've slowed down this week. I was thinking it was time to start new plants and rotate out before them squash bugs come in. Plus more room for Okre!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Good plan!
