There are few fresh seasonal vegetables that bring the business to the Farmers Market than corn.  Customers flock to the market to buy bushel bags at a time.  The average American eats about 5 ½ pounds of fresh sweet corn every year, certainly making it one of the most popular crops grown in the United States. 

Were you “born for corn”?  That’s definitely a southern expression, but also reflects a love of the sweet summer vegetable.  As we move into summer corn remains a star ingredient that will dominate every Farmers Market and dinner table in the south.
