Ask Mr. Answer Person: What about corn on the cob this year!?!?

Posted: Thu, Jul 31, 2014 10:56 PM

It's summer, when our thoughts turn to…corn.

At least that's the case with two decorahnews.com readers.  William e-mails: "Hey Mr. Answer Person!  Any notion of where Harrington's is and/or when they'll be coming into town from the sweet corn patch?  Could it be that they won't be supplying us this year?"  Meanwhile, Alan asks, "I am left to conclude the fair citizens of Decorah are nearly panicked without the eponymous Harrington Sweet Corn at the ready. Is there hope, or should we cleave to faraway fields to glean our own?"

Mr. Answer Person says:  "Relax!  Locally grown sweet corn may be available as soon as this weekend.  Harrington's in Nashua is reporting an abundance of the golden corn.  Bob Harrington says the first truckloads of Harrington sweet corn should be available—"Soon."
