First sweet corn of the season

Posted: July 10, 2009 @ 4:54 am In Today's Local News

Area residents came out in droves to last night’s (7/9) farmer’s market in downtown Washington to get a hold of an Iowa favorite. Tom Vittetoe was one of the first local growers to have sweet corn this year. He says the first four of five days of the season are the best for sales. Vittetoe says the first picking wasn’t as good as usual due to cool wet weather. He says they also had some wind damage. The buyers didn’t seem to mind. Vittetoe says around 1,100 ears of corn were sold in less than 20 minutes.
