Around here "Indian Corn" or the corn that is sold for decorations in the fall is always a flint or maybe flour type. You rarely even see dents in the ornamental displays. What does everyone think of the idea of selling a colorful sweet corn for an ornamental? Might customers accept it? Just a thought.

It is somewhat pretty but the trouble is that the shrunken kernels just don't look as good as full ones do.

Yea, I haven't seen a lot of dry sweet corn on the ear but it isn't as pretty, I can picture people thinking there is something wrong with it. Better to stick with a flour corn for ornamental.

So many things are de-valued when they get less smooth and pretty.

steev, are you talking about corn that gets shriveled and wrinklely or are you referring to your own body?

If you hang ornamental sweet corn outside, critters that do not want to waste time on that hard nasty flint corn will leave bare cobs on sweet corn even hung at heights one thinks they cannot reach. Been there done that. |

My significant other hung a bundle of sweet corn on one side of a door and a bundle of decorative field corn on the other last week.
Three days later the field corn was still hanging and I found the sweet corn bundle on the ground stripped clean.

So now you know what sort of critters you need to hunt: the lazy ones. I suspect squirrel stew with hominy would be good.
