How to freeze corn without blanching

What happens here

The farmer demonstrates two methods for preparing corn for freezing. For longer ears, he trims both ends but leaves them largely intact. For smaller servings or children, he cuts larger cobs into smaller, 'bite-sized' pieces. He packs these trimmed or cut cobs into freezer bags, arranging them in neat rows. He explains that these cobs do not need to be vacuum-sealed and can be cooked directly in the microwave for approximately two minutes per piece from frozen, providing 'fresh-tasting' corn on the cob throughout the winter.

Goal: Freeze corn cobs whole or in pieces for later consumption.
