Hardin City Homegrown

Ethan Anderson and Ryne Pickering brought the show to town again this year. The first of the sweet corn harvest arrived June 19. It is a decades-long tradition and involves two generations of the Kjormoe family – their sweet corn and the corner of Norby’s Farm and Fleet. Hardin City corn went on sale here and Grundy Center, along with other places in central Iowa. This year’s sweet corn came a little late. Often the first sales are around Independence Day. The salesmen for the Steamboat Rock growers said this year’s crop went into the ground late due to wet and damp spells during spring.
