Sweet corn
Summer heat is here and activity is heating up at the Gibson Farm Market with the arrival of arguably the University’s most popular student-produced agricultural product - sweet corn!
While tradition is served with corn’s arrival in the on-campus Farm Market, a new variety is in the bins - an extra-tender yellow variety called Vision. According to Dr. Ganesan Srinivasan, director of the University Agriculture Laboratory, the new Vision sweet corn “is sure to be as popular with our customers as our other varieties are every year, if not more…[because] it’s sweeter and has a better flavor.”
Last year, the Farm Market sold more than 400,000 ears of corn and Srinivasan anticipates that 2009 sales will exceed a half-million ears. About 65 acres of white and yellow corn are planted every two weeks to provide a constant supply from late May through Labor Day, and sometimes longer.
Freshness is key to Fresno State corn’s popularity, according to Srinivasan. “Each ear is selected for proper maturity and hand-harvested daily. Our corn travels less than a quarter-mile from the fields to the Gibson Farm Market, literally making it possible to go from plant to plate in a couple of hours.
Proceeds from the Gibson Farm Market and other Fresno State farm enterprises support the educational and research mission of the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology.
