Nothing your location in the USA's former ICBM buffer zone I'm perty dang sure that Zea Maize grows there. Now I realize this is far far beyond what folks in these parts (Central Applachian Mountians of Virginia) would refer to as the "North" (although we're hardly, "Southerners" - "Hill Folk" actually) and probably pollute cornbread with white flour and sugar. Surely folks up your way take finely milled corn combined with a some sort of leavening and binder and make what's commonly know as "corn bread." Now "corn sticks" are simply corn beard batter poured in a cast iron pattern that loosely resembles a piece of corn on the cob (the "cob" is the woody/shaggy part formerly used as a disposable toilet accessory for out door privies before Sears started delivering those large catalogs with the ink that doesn't smear). They're delicious hot out of the oven dipped in butter milk - especially if it's "real" butter milk.
See, there, bud, I "learned" you something - but now I've started wondering perzactly what a "privy" council actually is/does.

About 200,000 hectares of corn are also grown for harvest as forage (whole-plant silage). About 70% of Canadian corn is grown in Ontario.

If you're sending sweet corn, definitely leave it on the cob. Otherwise, I've got two little boys who would just love to run a truck load of corn through one of these. (Alright, they'd love to do it for as long as the novelty lasts, anyway).KLA2 wrote:Before I send the truck, MM_Dandy, you want that on or off the cob?

That's nice. If this site is right, Ontario had a yield of almost 320 million bushels of corn in 2010. Iowa yielded over 2 billion bushels.If you're sending sweet corn, definitely leave it on the cob.
