Okay, done! I've blanched 5.5 pints of sweet #corn from the #garden and readied it for #freezing. Foxy Loxy pigged out!

"July 1951. Los Angeles, California. "Nipper, a two-year-old cat owned by Dorothy Brinn of Hollywood, likes to eat his corn in comfort, so his mistress fixed up this skewer. The cat uses it for about two ears a day, having been a corn addict since his kitten days. Nip likes it best with butter." Acetate negative from the Shorpy News Photo Archive."

India's drive to produce more ethanol is prompting its farmers to switch away from growing oilseeds, undermining government efforts in the world's largest buyer of cooking oils to reduce imports. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/08/12/markets/india-ethanol-edible-oil-sufficiency/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #india #oil #agriculture #ethanol #india #corn #rice #soybeans

The cornfield

In case you've never been to the Midwest in the late summer, this is what it looks like to drive down a rural back road--one of those roads that has no name, just coordinates--in Illinois: Walls of corn on either side of a road too narrow for two vehicles (but well-mown shoulders).

If you drive down one, be prepared to slow down at every intersection. The corn's far too tall to see cross traffic, and people die every year in those intersections.

Is it me or is Illinois corn off this year?

Whenever I take a bite of these, there will always be a part of me that’s a kid, sitting at the table with my family, fighting over who gets a double this round.
Corn cakes! A tradition in my family - my grandfather made them for his kids, my dad made them for us. Basically just enough egg and bisquick to hold together the corn into little pancakes. Sweet and salty, idyllic summer breakfast!

TIL that #meteorologists have term called ‘corn sweat’ which occurs when #corn plants tassel (flower). They release a lot of moisture from their leaves which creates a high humidity area over a region.

This year, the ‘corn sweat’ is coinciding with a very high heat dome over the midwest, leading to extremely extreme #humidex alerts and danger to humans

Corn of Plenty.

"In the week ahead, some of the country’s most oppressive heat and humidity will be found in the Corn Belt, an area of the United States that stretches from the Dakotas to Ohio, sending heat index values toward a dangerous 115 degrees. States such as Missouri, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois and the Dakotas are forecast to have humidity levels that rival or exceed Florida’s."

Did anyone ask US corn producers what they think of getting rid of high fructose corn syrup in Coke and snack foods?
