Same deal here. There are lots of nearby farms. I haven't seen corn more
than a foot high this year. Farmers had to keep replanting because of
the wet weather.

The yellow/white corn seems to be the most popular here but a few grow
yellow corn. I remember asking at one stand and they said everyone wants
the white or white/yellow.
