Interesting. I've never heard of that. What is the purpose of the milk?
Just to jump into the fray... We've had corn from PA, OH, NJ, FL, MI. The best was from non-corporate farms outside of Madison, Ohio, where you would stop at the farm stand, they would ask you what you wanted, then walk a hundred feet to the corn field and pick it for you. I think that was the secret, the fact that it was so fresh and not refrigerated.
When we go to the farmers' market in town here in MI, they have picked the corn the night before and refrigerated it so they can sleep later in the a.m. rather than go pick it at 3 a.m. and haul it into the market. Cold corn is rarely exceptional. What we need now in MI is a farm that draws a lot of customers so they have to go pick a couple times a day. Preferably you go in the afternoon when they've picked for the second time and not refrigerated it. These places are hard to find, although I know of one an hour away.
Still, that Ohio corn... the best in my memory. Sigh.
