I live in a town which has the joy of being home to a family that decided to put their children through college by growing and selling sweet corn every summer. They put up these little stands all over half the state, and deliver corn to them every morning. Most of the time, if you don't get there before noon, you are too late, unless you call and order some to be held for you. I have no idea how big their acreage is, but they can barely keep up, even ten years later! I'd imagine it has made them a small fortune, by now! They also cut a maze into it every year at halloween, after the harvest is over.
