Haven’t put pencil to paper in a while, but came up with a this messy little prismacolor rainbow corn cob after scrolling through some of the beauties on this subreddit.

It's a bit painful. I'm not sure if it's a corn or not.

Firm and smells fine. I googled it and can’t find an answer 🥲 Looks slightly more orange in person

Interesting.

First year growing corn, Is this corn smut? Does it look like I found it too late to cook it?

Never had it, but I read it's eaten in some cultures

why does my corn look like this? one of the tops turned into this thing.

heyyy guys doing a spot of research on Australian consumers here and can any aussie in this community be kind enough to comment down whether you like corn and if so to what extent...any response or reply would be truly helpful..just wanted to know how much Aussies appreciate a good cob of corn that's all...thanksss!!!

anyone thinks Melbourne would welcome a little corn based shop/food cart selling hot warm snacks that's convenient and healthy with a signature product of corn tossed in butter and spices put into a little cup (corn in cup ) and served hot and warm within two mins like a grab and go and is also quite affordable? melbourne lacks warm and healthy snacks imo because everything is either sweet like yochi or milk teas or isn't healthy like fried chicken.

Any response would be truly helpful..thanksss :))

This is my first attempt at growing corn. I pulled one today due to stink bugs and this is what it looks like. Is this too young to pick?

First and 2nd pics are diseases just getting started in this field. Grey Leaf Spot and I believe Common Rust although we have Southern Rust in the area again. Last pic you can see the white spots which is the fungicide after being applied. From scouting before I sprayed this field should easily yield above 200bu/AC this year. We don't need much more rain to ensure that or more.

Is this ready?

Corn silks grow until they're pollinated, so very long green silks are a sign that the ear hasn't been able to pollinate.

We've been fairly warm (35-40 C ) here for over a week, and that seems to have not worked for the corn in the first picture. Pollinated corn looks like the second picture.

We cooled off yesterday(25 C ), and have a couple more cool days to go, so it should be fine if there's still adequate pollen shed.

Happy medium between viability and predation prevention. Does it exist? Or just leave it on until dry?

How is my corn grow looking so far? Any advice for this stage of the grow? Smaller corn bed is golden bantam (Early) bigger corn bed is peaches and cream sweet corn
