When is corn ripe for picking?
How do I tell??
Answers:
It depends on the type of corn planted. Sweet corn varieties are ready when you pull the shuck back, the kernels are plump, and when pressed a milk like substance runs out. If the kernels are dry, with no moisture coming out, the ear is over ripe and not fit to eat. The same test will work for field corn. Simply pull back a few of the shucks and give this test. If the stalk is dried up, the kernels are hard, and the silk is dark brown and dry, the odds are that the corn is over ripe.
