Sweet corn sales feed the hungry
Ben Drake started something new this year at the DeKalb County Corn & Soybean Plots.
He planted sweet corn, provided by Beck’s Seeds, and sold it with the intention of donating the proceeds from the sales to a local food bank.
During July and August he sold 4,250 ears of sweet corn and collected $1,100. He turned the money over to the DeKalb County Corn & Soybean Growers, who donated it to the DeKalb County Community Gardens.
