If you're from the Midwest, then you likely ate your weight in corn while growing up, and probably still do ... While I like to think I'm a pro at picking out the best of the best, I was curious ...

Pick corn in the morning hours when the ears are 15 to 30°F cooler than at midday. To harvest, hold the stalk in your non-dominant hand to steady ... you can store it for up to three days.
