Travis I'm shocked you aren't using the kernel kutter . After I shucked and silked 120 Ears of corn, I cut and creamed them all in about 15 minutes. The one I have adjust to size of the Cobb while using it you just squeeze it more or less as needed and tilt it slightly to cream it as you are coming back off the Cobb. We absolutely love it. So much easier and so little time . The corn was delicious. Peaches and cream corn. Yummy!!!
I like mine like you do. Have Iowa Chief and am impressed that it is tasty crunchy and not so sweet. At 73, I’ve been doing my garden regularly for about 10 years. Always learning so thanks.
Man I'm glad I found you Travis. I've been missing my guy. My 82 mother said she approves of your methods. We put up both creamed and on the cob. The only difference would be she blanches the corn by running it threw the dishwasher. Of course no soap and no dry cycle. You also don't have to get all the silks off and it doesn't heat up your kitchen. Great job and love the family.
Awesome video! Thanks for the info
Alright, alright, allllright!! Two words, "Electric Peasheller" ….uh… maybe that's three words? Grammer wasn't my strong point in school! :- )
Sweet corn? I mixed silver king, peaches and cream, serendipity triple sweet, and a little silver queen all in the same hopper (planter). Cross pollinate? Oh yeah and the results are sweeeet 🙂 Gave lots away and put up enough for winter months. Great content to the videos keep em coming! May God bless.
My grandmother used an electric knife to cut her corn off of the cob… I’ve done it too, and it’s nice, but I find that I have a tendency to cut into the cob when trying to avoid wasting corn, leaving cob bits in my kernels.. I like mine to be more of a kernel corn with some cream, myself, rather than a true CREAMED corn..
I also threw away money on those crappy corn shuckers , paring knife works just fine for me
Y’all got adorable, happy, well adjusted and secure kids. That’s as nice to see as a good crop of corn, or nicer. Congratulations!
Do you make corn cob jelly with those cobs?
I have fond memories of my dad going to Emanuel county (his dad's farm) with a long bed pickup and coming back home. Once he was home the fun was on all day long, it takes really a team to pull it off with that much corn. So my dad creamed the corn while my brother and I shucked and silked corn all day long. Man that was some good corn!
Thanks for the video.
I believe I have an easier method for you! Grab you a large Bundt pan and you can put the tip of the ear in the hole to help hold it, and use your knife to cut the kernels while the pan holds what you cut off.
Travis, have you tested using corn transplants vs direct seeding?
I still have a hard time doing that but I think I'm better at it now!!
Guys how do you do your popcorn? Love you guys
Fun and informative video. Love how you guys share. I’m growing corn in grow bags this summer, no wide open growing beds available. Thanks
Is the Yellowstone sweeter than Peaches and Cream?
Good video as always!! Question, can you grow silver queen and silver king in the same plot at the same time? I want be saving the saving the seeds. Thanks Mr. Travis
Couldn't you just freeze the ears ?
Hey Travis! I just gave you a shoutout on my harvest video here: https://youtu.be/zs0fomd-23k?t=240 At 7:08 in my video I have a method for removing the kernels that will change your LIFE. Super fast and it turned out really good. Thanks for all the tips. Our Yellowstone turned out really tasty!
How do you get rid of pig weed cuz !!
Just a tip cuz my wife and I use a air hose to silk corn works great just saying!!
I started my fall corn in 2”x 2” x 3 1/2 “ cells (10-20 tray) to get a head start . I mixed my own potting soil and had great Germination and great sprouts. My mix was compost 4 parts ,peat 1 part , Half gallon of the Vermiculite and 1/2 cup of 13-13-13. My problem is when I remove the plugs for planting they fell apart. Any suggestions?
very nice video and a nice family … i love your info. you have a very informative you tube channel thank you very much and the drip irrigation system worked out very well for out
our corn garden 7 rows of 70 ft sure made it easier for sure will be harvesting peaches and cream in a coupe of days . thanks again guys ..
Take a paper towel and rub it on mostly cleaned.silk corn..u will be surprised how it.gets ones u never saw.
I dont grow that much anymore…but never did the food saver…man i wish i knew about those 50 years ago….if they had them.
I will tell u a funny story..i fed my man flax seed every meal since he was about 17. HAD TO SNEAK IT INTO HIS FOOD His brothers all have huge receding hair by age 25. WHEN HE GOT ABOUT 65 i stopped…HIS HAIR RECEDED IN A YEAR…i confessed to him then what i had done. He still doesnt think it was the flax seed but it is suppose to do that…i think it did.
Anyone who has ever owned a horse and given them ALPHA hay after they never had it knows how important food is and what it can do for ya.
Adjustable mandolin slicer works amazing. Found that tip recently and it is a game changer for cutting corn off the cob.
