A small stretch of cold weather is going to keep sweet corn from being available by the Fourth of July this year for one grower who often has the first corn on the market.  Mike Penick (PEE-nick) grows corn near Carlisle and says his first sweet corn will likely be ready the week after the holiday.

Penick says the Fourth of July delivery date is what they hope for, but don’t get every year.

Wet conditions delayed the sweet corn last year and the first corn was on the market at about the same time Penick predicts for this year.
