I'm looking to get layed off from my p-time job, school board is talking about out sourcing. So time to try to make some extra cash. Western PA 25 miles of Pittsburgh.

Yellow corn is what I like best and have a few good varieties. But looks like every one else like bi-color corn. And what do you all use for ear-borer and the other ear worms?

Types I like:
YELLOW

Early Choice; SE by seedway, 65 days grows cooler soils very nice ear for 65 day but very short plant and have to crawl to pick it. Very tasty 7 " ear

Kandy Korn ; EH by seedway, 89 Nice sweetcorn , if I would clampain about it would be flags covering the tips, other than that would be a nice sweetcorn.

Tuxedo; SE sweet corn good stress tolerance,
nice ear but got some bad seed a few years ago.

Bodacious; SE 72 days is a good all round corn.

===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ==

Bi color ???

===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== =====

White

Sliver Queen ; SU 92 day old stand by.

===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== =====

Any all opinions on type of good sweetcorn varieties would be apprieciated.

Thanks !! Teddy

I personally like NK 199. Yellow corn. It's a large girthy ear with a tall (6-7 foot) stalk that seems to be very strong. I like it because the ear worms don't seem to bother it like they do the white corn. It matures over a fairly short period, but seems to keep well in the fridge. I get my seed from Gurney's. I'm near Indianapolis.

Going to agree with Jim@Concord farm.NK 199 has been a favorite freezer corn of ours for a long time.The problem is finding a supply.Sometimes you can find it and sometimes not,even at Gurney's.Its a very old variety ,but its an excellent freezer corn and keeps well.Incredible is another good variety that we like.Peaches & Cream is a good bicolor.
Jim where near Indianapolis? I live at Fishers.

Jim,
What's the maturity, in days for that NK199? Is it recommended for Kansas?

David, The catalog says 82 days to maturity. I've been across Kansas on all the interstates, and it looks just like Indiana, just a lot drier. I expect the NK 199 would do fine as long as it got enough water. jIM.
