Good luck with southern Ontario corn this summer. It has been way to
wet and farmers have not been able to work their fields. There is
usually a lot of sweet corn grown around here but I have not seen any
corn plants growing at any of the usual producer's farms.

The USDA just yesterday released corn forecast for July (predicting
a bad year for corn). Texas and Florida are the first ones to
harvest corn, and that isn't for another month. We have it sale
here in Texas 6/$1 this week, but its from Mexico.

I could have sworn there were two corn season in California, at
least. I used to live next across the street from the last
cornfield in Sunnyvale, "Corn palace" and I'm pretty damned sure we
stole^H^H^H^H^H could buy corn twice a year. Looks like they're
finally getting ready to bulldoze it.

Also lived next to Olson's Cherry Farm, the last Cherry Farm, in
Sunnyvale. That got bulldoze in the 1990's

So I don't know where you got your corn. Probably from Mexico.
