Greetings,
I received an question via my webpage that I am unable to answer
completely. I would appreciate any insight anyone might provide or any
sources that I might check.
The client described "Corn on sale at the market today (5 cents an
ear...what a shame for the farmer), found that several of the white corn
ears had a stalk within the silks area that looked like a wheat shaft."
No indication on percentage of ears affected was given. It sounds like
he is saying that the end of the ear looks more like a stalk than a
cobb. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time.
Peggy Sellers
