OT sweet corn

Is there an easy way to tell when sweet corn is ready to gather without pulling the shuck back?

Feel of it.

Or an MRI would work.

Silk sticking out of the top of the ear will be dry

when the silks turn dark brown and kinda dry up.

The easiest way is about 3 days after the racoons are in it.

By feel.

I agree with the "by feel" approach but let me expand. Feel the silk end of the ear with the tips of your thumb an fingers. If it has a longish taper it is not ready. If it is more blunt feeling it is ready. Try a few and you will get the "feel".
