Yeah, I also got a case of them, they are good and juicy and even taste like a peach should.

Olathe sweet corn is good but you obviously have not had peaches and cream from Iowa. I'll let Kirk expound a bit.
Are you kidding me? Of course I have had the best of Iowa. Back in the 90's I practically lived in Indianola while helping my Brother-in-law build his horse ranch. Orchards just north of town on US65 were awesome.
And I ate corn I carried from the fields myself.
Nope, the stuff I have been eating for the last two weeks here in St Louis, even though it was trucked in, was better. Better than any sweet corn I have ever tasted.
Including my own.
Local grocer has it 6 ears for a dollar. Assuming I don't eat it all, I'm putting a bunch up in the freezer.
I think that the flavor and quality of sweet corn is more influenced by the timing of harvest than most other things. Variety is very important also, peaches and cream, a bi color corn is a very tasty and popular variety. And there are others that are very good as well..
My father grew many acres of sweet corn, and it well known around here for giving it away to friends and family. He always bought the seed by the lb. from Illinois research farm, or something like that. It was expencive seed, considering most farmers who buy seed corn, get the sweetcorn seed throw in as a free bee..
It depends on what you like as well. Some varieties are what I call tender crisp, and others are more "meaty" and substantial in your mouth. Some folks like one or the other better.
But the day it is harvested is really important IMHO, as if it is to far along, much of the sugars are turning into starches. As in most things after it is picked, you want to eat it as soon as possible..
franc, that is a great deal for corn. Here we have been paying 5 dollars for 6 ears. If you buy a case it is $4 per half dozen..
