Sweet Corn Tastes Better In South Dakota, Minnesota & Iowa

There's another little-known border battle that will become very evident in the next several weeks between Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota. All the players have been in training since this spring and now it's time for you to bring your best game out of the field. The cornfield!

Living in this part of the country there is one staple in almost every household. Corn! And, sweet corn rules at every farmer's market, every backyard barbeque, and every county, and state fair.

My coworker sitting outside my office likes the Minnesota State Fair and she particularly goes for the grilled corn on the cob.
