Shuck Corn and Remove Damaged Parts

little tool I want to show you too all right I don't want you to think that this is some miracle of modern agriculture it really isn't a miracle it's just something pretty simple it's just how we keep our corn very very simple I recommend not doing what we did so right now I'm having to waste quite a bit of corn just for the simple fact that we harvested it a couple days ago instead of leaving it on the stalk so if you're gonna get your corn off the stock go ahead and be ready and process it so what we're gonna do is just get busy rocking this out and the goats are gonna have an awesome awesome treat of note corn silks I'm told corn silks are good for your urinary tract so they sell corn silk pills dehydrated corn silk pills online and I've never heard of this before but I'm told if you have frequent urinary tract infections that corn silk can help with the pain and the urinary tract infection I had no idea but here's your corn silk so each silk is attached to its own individual kernel right here okay and you see there's some empty kernels we had an infestation of Japanese beetles in our garden probably right as the corn began to blossom in other words right as it started to shoot castles at the top and to shoot silks out of the ear of corn look at this and listens a beautiful ear so anyhow at that point the Japanese beetles got into the silks of the corn and they did not get fertile like they should that's a wonderful ear of corn right there well let all that stuff hydrate and you'll see the before and after here in just a minute [Music] we've got some corn that's not quite too delicious looking right in here normally what we would do is we'll take our knife and we'll just cut in here and get rid of that section no biggie but this one's got some rot all the way around it so we want to be careful if it looks like it's got a little mildew on it or rot we want to get rid of it so we'll take this to the goats I don't mind teaching you a lesson learn this lesson from me if you're gonna do corn if you're gonna put back corn pick it and shuck it and freeze it in the same day if you possibly can so set aside some time that you can fool with it so we don't get rotten so it started getting moisture issues and and the reason behind all this is because we simply went on vacation when we should have been doing our farm work that's the way it goes sometimes the vacations okay we probably have I don't know ten dozen twelve dozen ears of corn here something like that…
