Sweet corn in Lancaster City., Pa. Is bringing $5-$6.50. Slightly higher this year due to drought and limited supplies. If you are industrious, husk your corn, cut it off the cob and freeze it. Corn for those long cold winter days.
great job on getting the piviot going again i love how you guys work together on something its great to see a young married couple do the things they do and show how farm life can be even with all its troubles ..bless you as always praying for you guys
Well in the UK in my local supermarket sweetcorn is $1US per ear of corn! But that’s with the leaves removed, even so it’s about 5-10x the price of in the US!!! We are also growing a small (and I mean really small) patch of sweetcorn in our field but are really happy with the cop so far, looking forward to home grown corn later this summer 😊
A boys and Laura paradise this episode... Getting wet under the summer time "pivot rain", corn field bashing in 4WDs, winching and diggin out tyres in mud, with demolition derbys and crashing cars for dessert! ❤Cheers from a sweet corn lover down in New Zealand, David
In California high desert sweet corn 🌽 sells for about, .60¢ each at the grocery store, but it does go on sale for, .25-.40¢ each.The corn is not that good and way too sweet, can't find good old field corn anywhere.Gage is the type of person that the top dogs at NASCAR look for, so expect to see him get a call very soon!
First and foremost congratulations to Gage good job at the derby. I really enjoyed watching him win his show. The pivot repair was very interesting since there aren’t many that are used in my area. Thanks again for all of your content. This is a great channel as well as educational for “the city slickers”!!
I can still hear you guys,"Another stuck pivot,another stuck pivot,another stuck..."!! The Derby was actually great content, the Fair OMG!! I "LIVE" for our county fair!! My family does not understand, I go EVERY DAY/EVENING!! Just to hang out,walk around, 3 years now we have a demolition derby. My Monster truck "Liberty " did opening ceremony!!
OK! This is my favorite video from you guys yet!!!! I have always loved a good demo derby!!!! And Gage rocked it!!!!! I'm sure I have said this before, but if our world had more young people like Gage, we would be better for it!!!!!
Back in the late 70's, I worked on a dock at a grocery warehouse. When the fresh sweet corn would come in, my supervisor and would have to test it! The best way is to eat it! He did not know this. It tastes the same raw. We would take a case to the lounge so we all had hot sweet corn for lunch! Teaching the Chicago boys what the silk will do to your hands was fun!
Gage is becoming quite the handy man! Better hang onto him, he is very talented! Good job Gage! Maybe next time you can Winn! Have always enjoyed the destruction derby’ s, lots of fun for all! Grant and Laura, Don’t be too hard on Gage over the borrowed parts, he Eileen return them! But, I do see an interesting pattern, “stolen batteries”…..Must have learned it from Grant! The original “Battery Bandit” 😂
Laura / Grant I just want to thank you for the enjoyment I get from your videos. This one brought back so many memories from when I was growing up in Nebraska. Love your problem solving skills in these videos and Gage was definitely the best in class at the derby. Hope to someday meet you two when I come back visiting relatives or a Husker game 😊. Keep the great content coming . As always if you want to see a peanut harvest in NM or NC I’m your guy. The problem is I think it happens at the same time you guys are harvesting. FYI the secret to picking sweet corn is get there before the raccoons do. They seem to know exactly when it is ripe 😂
I enjoy your videos. I am a 75 year old disabled Vietnam veteran and about all I do now days is watch U tube videos. Every time I see Scottie your black cat it remind me of my service, I was a helicopter mechanic and our outfit was the 282 Assault Helicopter Company, The Black cats. My grand kids ask why we were called The Black Cats, told them I didn’t know, but it was bad luck for the enemy when we showed up!!! We had a black cat painted on the nose of each helicopter.
My mom put a large nail through a large board. After cooking an ear you would put it on the nail and cut off the kernals. Put it in freezer bags....fresh sweet corn all year long
St George Utah. Farmers near St George sell sweet corn for $5 per dozen. they pick and it's self serve, I get a dozen and leave the money in a box. Twenty years ago near Salt Lake City, when raising sweet corn after feeding my family and friends I would take several dozen to a soup kitchen. I staggered my planting so I would have extra corn over five or six weeks. Enjoy your videos.
I volunteer at a food pantry, a local farmer donates sweet corn for us to give away. I think it would be a nice gesture if you found a outlet for you to donate some of your sweet corn!
I’ve had a “few” stuck pivots before. We used small straw bales placed in wheel tracks. Works great. Don’t need to remove them when it’s time for tillage. Just work them into the soil.
Used to plant sweet corn as the first two rows in the field closest to the house. Never had a problem with flavor. $1/ear for Safeway or Costco mistery corn. Don't know what the good stuff is going for.
Hi Laura, we enjoy your content very much here in sunny South Africa… wow the corn looks amazing… hope we will start to get that nifty couplers soon in our country… they work so much better than the old style… we hope to see many more videos from you 3, like Zack will say,” keep it between the rows “.
Idea for the sweet corn: Sell the sweet corn to the public. The proceeds from the sale will go to a charity. For example: The proceeds from the fundraiser could go to a charity that helps farmers who lost their home and/or equipment to a disaster. Remember the farmers who lost their equipment to a fire a couple of years ago.
Ya'll video it, I'll watch it! Subject matter isnt as important as the interaction between ya'll. Hell, i just watched a crash up derby, on the total edge of my seat, myself swerving and cheering Gage on. It was marvelous! Thank you!
Here in Kentucky, sweet corn from local farms sells for $5-8/dozen. Maybe you could donate some to a local shelter/food bank as well. I am growing 36 peaches and cream variety sweet corn in a 4x4 raised bed with a custom developed irrigation system I built and programmed to automatically water the plants based on moisture content detected by a few probes and using rain water collected in an IBC tote. I've been 100% hands off since I put the seeds in the ground and the plants are 8' tall. I do have scarlet runner beans between the corn to replenish the nitrogen. The ears are about 3-4 weeks from harvest and the beans are just now flowering. It is a fun project that could probably be scaled to cover a household's needs, but not scalable enough to mass produce corn.
I think they arer the kind of people I would want as family...Great vid , nice change of pace . Excellant { I do not know how to spell} job by the battery thief. Good to know farmers have fun too.
Little tip. You don't want to plant sweet corn by field corn. They will both cross pollinate. And neither one will be what you want. Next time, plant it near your bean field for better results. And maybe you should readjust the pivot to stay away from the ditch 🤔.
The premium sweet corn in Akron Ohio sold at Szlays is $9.00 per dozen. This farm has a fantastic reputation and takes corn very seriously. Sold at their own 1000 sq. ft. market along with fresh veggies and fruit.
WHO had the most fun at the Demo Derby ... I think it was Laura with smile on her face and sparkle in her eyes .. What a great evening for all plus Gage winning ..
In a city over 1 million they had ' $300 claimer' flat track racing where at the end of any race all of the cars could be bought for $300 each. Basically the cars were junk yard ready but tuned up with the hopes of winning a race against other junk. At the end of most races most of the cars looked like they had been in a demo derby but it sure was fun to watch!
2 things, first, please get a multimeter! A Simple cheap one will tell you the charge of your batteries. 13 volts = fully charged, 12 volts = discharged. below 12 volts, consider replacing. Second. if you add 2-3 100 watt solar panels to the roof of the shop, run the cables to a solar controller, then build an easy battery storage rack. At the end of the season, gather up all the batteries, place them on the rack, connect each one in parallel and connect to the solar charger, the solar panels will keep all your batteries charged over winter for free. You will always know where batteries are and what ones are charged. replace any that swell or do not hold a charge. This is all easy to do and fairly inexpensive and will keep you going for many many years
I live northwest of Chicago and corn is currently 33 cents an ear. We've had quite a bit this summer and I have to admit, every time I grab an ear..... I think of Laura! I'm glad to see your sweet corn is doing so well.
Sweet corn in North Central Ohio goes for $3.50 up to $6.00 a dozen. We could use your pivots…so dry where we live. Storms move around us, we need a drink bad!
This was an interesting video... It does hurt to see you drive thru the corn like that, but I understand that farming doesn't always go the way you'd like it to. Farming ain't easy! During Aug-Sept in Alberta Canada, we can buy farm fresh Sweet Corn ranging from early Peaches & Cream to later maturing solid yellow kernel cobs - $0.50 per cob up to $1.00 per cob depending on the location. Bundle pricing can be $10.00 a dozen. Luv that Trail Mater T-shirt mentioned of the Utah boys - made me think back of all the fun you had together, them videos were great. ♥
Mankato, Minn. Our largest truck farm that sold the majority of sweetcorn, flooded out in June 2024. If you saw the News about the Rapidan Dam that's close to where I am. The first corn the vendor trucks it in from down south. They were charging $16.00 for 13 ears. Local vendors range from $8.00 per dozen to $11.00. I got some for $10.00 for 14 ears because the ears are small. We had a ton of rain but no heat. Now it is getting the heat it needs.
hello from France, an admirer of your videos, of agriculture in general. it will be necessary to install footbridges above the ditches so that the pivot wheels will move flat. thus no risk of material breakage or wheel getting stuck. no more problems, equals time saving in irrigation. best wishes
Sweet corn here in California groceries sells for 2 or 3 ears for $1.00 , rice varies but usually in that range. I suspect your local price at a roadside stand or local store may be similar . Hope you get some delicious fresh corn ! Bruce W
Demo Derby's are a blast! Went to watch one this year where they had 3 full size school busses compete against one another. Absolute blast to watch! Happy to see Gage win!
I was at my local BIG W store today and sweet corn is $6.00/dozen, but it looked old and dry. Them Hondas are tough, I saw a '90s era Prelude almost win a demo derby but the wheels were spinning inside the flat tires and it got counted out for not being able to move.
I did a drivers course in 1991 and part of the course was recovering vehicle, in work you would be surprised how much recovering you would do Laura, I have a small 4 x 4 tractor and a utility truck with 4 x 4 but I still get bogged, I have learnt to look at the ground surface and there are parts of my property I do not go during winter if it has rained a lot.
It's nice that your sweet corn is growing so well. However,.... next time plant it alongside a bean field, not a corn field. That way the risk of cross pollination with your field corn is reduced. It'll be interesting just what kind of ears you get from your sweet corn patch. A very fun video to watch. Lots of fun comments that make me laugh. Just wonderful. Thanks.
Hi, you guys, thanks for sharing your farm contents. Just wanted to give you a heads up on sweet corn here in the Finger Lakes, NY . Mostly $4 a dozen , we eat it right off the stork. .........it's so sweet it's candy. Stay safe, and thanks for sharing 👍

The Demo derby was just way cool. The channel is not about farming it is about farm life and having a blast at a Derby or Fair is part of farm life.
You forgot to mention that demo derby makes minivans look the way they should all look!
As a kid growing up in the 60s, we had the old Caddy’s, Lincoln’s and such. Those massive cars with V8s roaring made quite the spectacle!
Corn here $8 for 13 cobs
Way to go gage. That was impressive it still ran.
The rock is a waste of time and money you can get any size of bridge from flat to arched any length
That was awesome!! Thanks for taking us along!! Good job Gage!! Have a great weekend everyone!!
Most men's dream. When you have the mini van demolition derby. Nice going Gage.
Thank you for all the work I’m 72 years old had all kinds of plans, but now I’m enjoying watching the two of you
A good old fashioned demolition derby... Now that's living... I'm so jealous.

Congratulations Gage! Fantastic win! And fantastic video Laura and Grant!
"the vans gettin smaller" got a real belly chuckle from me. always love the mix of fun and education here. keep it up!
That's a monster of a winch! And a demolition Derby? So friggin American - I love it!

At Meijer Markets in Kalamazoo, Michigan, sweet corn is being sold for 50 cents per ear (as of July 30). Good goin', Gage.

You can also use dry concrete in the bag, do not even open it, just put the bags down and concrete will harden up. I have been doing this for years.

We had $3 a dozen at our local Amish store, then $5 a dozen at the big grocery store in town. We’re in Ohio. The sweet corn is outstanding!
Out in Wyoming, I have seen lots of pivots with three wheels on certain sections. Not sure if that’s for better flotation or to support more weight.

It's nice that your sweet corn is growing so well. However,.... next time plant it alongside a bean field, not a corn field. That way the risk of cross pollination with your field corn is reduced. It'll be interesting just what kind of ears you get from your sweet corn patch.

I like Grant's quote, "that van is getting smaller".
