[QUOTE="Chris H, post: 1059965, member: 1974"] Here's some good info from Perdue, [url]http://www.extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/GQ/GQ-29.html[/url]. Just what I skimmed from the article, I think you'll be OK picking now. It's good you got a variety intended for picking. Husband used to sell seed corn and the varieties best for picking had a more hollow core in the cob, that let the inside get drier faster. The grain tends to stay on the cob better as it goes through the picker, hits the wagon, and goes up the elevator. Also, not all varieties will have the ears break over, some remain upright even when dry. [/QUOTE]
