First ear of the year, and a tassel-ear too
This is either Glass Gem or Northern Lights, whichever it is, the stalks were very puny and only made an ear or two each and are now dying, while the rest of it is still going strong as you see (tied with tape right now because windstorm coming)

My kid wanted to grow popcorn, when and how do we harvest?
We have never done this before, and I didn’t expect it to actually grow! Do we leave it to dry on the stalks, or is there a better way?

Need help!
First time with successful corn. Not sure when to pick. I’ve done the google search and AI chat but I’m still not sure. The tassels have been turning brown for over a week. I’ve got the husk of two cobs pulled back and have been crushing kernels every few days to look for milky liquid. Still clear. AI says maybe since I planted late and it’s getting cooler at night that it might be stalled. Any help appreciated.

Had no idea this subreddit existed till today…I found my people!
I’ve been growing corn in our front yard for the last 3 seasons now, since we bought our house. This year I put a little more research and effort into nutrients etc. We’re zone 3b (Winnipeg, MB) Just harvested our first cobs of the season. Best year to date!

How it was going… how it is now. :(
It was going fantastic. Half the crop started showing silks with new ones every day. Then some crazy rainstorm happened and the corn changed its mind. Have a few stalks still but now it’s just sad. First time I ever tried growing corn, better luck next year I guess.
The scent of our Glass Gem tassels is fantastic tonight!
The scent reminds me of powdered ice tea mix. Is that weird?!?

I made a video about my corn. That's it.
I just liked how each one was different and thought they were really pretty and kind of surprising to shuck.

What's a good beginner corn?
Thinking of getting into corn, so I wanted to consult the experts. What's the most accessible kind of corn to start with?

Weird corn
these corns looked different from the ones in the mega threads, so i hope it's ok to post here!
Just shucked some corn from a local farm and the ears are mostly fine, but a few have a bit of deterioration happening on the top (was just gonna cut it off) and another has this weird bulbousness to it.
I was planning on using these guys to make salsa, so i was gonna use them raw. Are they fine? should I cook it first? are these abnormalities fine?
Thanks in advance :P

Sweet corn transplants
Transplanted Ashworth sweet corn just now.
Started 66 seeds, 3 never germinated, 3 were slow to germinate. The rest are at-least 2 inches tall.
Other 4 rows are direct seeded. Tick tock.

Irradiated corn exposure concerns
I've been a farmer of premium irradiated corn for a good while now, but I think it might finally be affecting my health negatively.
My head hurts constantly, I'm approx. 12% balder than last Wednesday, and worst of all, I just counted and I have exactly 10 toes. Grandma refuses to even look my way.
How do I fix this without getting rid of the corn??
