Had my first cob today. Devastated that only about 25% of the nibs were full. Ate it raw very tasty. I think the rain washed the pollen away there was not dusting on the leaves.
:( It's such a dissapointment when this happens, usually you do not know until you are at the mouthwatering phase.
I'm going to try powershucking my corn this year.... I need loose kernels for pizzas, pasta sauces and chillis, so I'll try an internet technique I've seen with a drill and an applecorer to see if it works.... I have other options... I could make a press with a tubular shank and just run that down them....
