I don't buy vegetables from Wal*Mart. I buy from Wegmans.

Since you're in the biz, can you answer a question for me?

There's a whole lot of full-grown corn, unharvested, on several farms southeast of Syracuse, NY. It was unharvested as of last Friday, anyway. It's turning kind of brown at this point.

Why is it there, and not in Wegmans?

Possibly it will be harvested as “Deer Corn”.

It is used for hunting in the South.

A lot of corn is grown for silage.

I don’t know the harvesting protocols for fuel corn. Maybe be similar to silage harvesting.

Depends on the variety of corn ... field corn is fully dry (to a moisture of 15% or so) before harvest. Decorative corn would also be allowed to go down before harvest. Sweet corn is harvested while still tender.
