Especially central Illinois. Shoulder high by the fourth of July. You stand in the field at night and listen to the corn grow.
When you get tired of that, you do a little cow tippin'.

Oh, I wasn't implying that you were calling Colorado the mid-west. I'm just saying that the corn from Olathe, Colorado is the best sweet corn ever, whether you consider it the mid-west or not!

Why does a person come to Oregon if he wants to grow corn? Whats wrong, not enough corn fields in Kansas and Nebraska?

Sorry, didn't mean to be sarcastic..

Aumsville corn festival around about Aug-Sept, its our niche corn crib. Just east of Salem they get that Midwest afternoon humidity off the Santiam along with the stiff heat of warm air stacking up against the Cascade foot hills to swell the kernels full of sugar. After you overload on that head over to Silverton for the Strawberry festival. Used to be that Willamette Valley Strawberry's were world renowned for their taste, a result of just the right amount of overnight temperature fall and dew point followed by a gradual warm up the next day but once picked they quickly perished. When you can still find them for sale at the road side stands you'll forget you ever liked any other strawberry.
