It seems like another slap in the face. Mother Nature has not been kind to our growers.

You can't miss us. We'll have sweet corn all over, everywhere.

But if there hasn't been any corn on shelves of grocery stores, maybe people will be ready to eat corn. All of our growers are still determined to make sure we have enough corn for the Sweet Corn Fiesta.

The payment is based on the stage of the corn. You don't get much for young corn plants.

It was 26 degrees at 1 o'clock. There was ice everywhere.

From what I gather, our growers lost at least 75 to 80 percent of all the corn that was above the ground, and that is a conservative estimate.
