Sweet Corn Expected For The Fourth

MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON

There’s nothing like biting into a cob of sweet corn on a summer day. And just in time for the Fourth of July, Skelly’s Farm Market in Janesville expects their first varieties to be ready for harvest. For our next episode with the Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association, we’re sitting down with Scott and Laura Skelly. Scott is the sixth generation of Skelly’s Farm in Janesville. More than one hundred years ago, the farm family started out as a traditional Wisconsin farm, raising dairy and row crops. But since the 80s, the Skellys have been growing sweet corn and adding other crops and agri-tourism activities for the public to enjoy. While Scott has been growing sweet corn his whole life, his wife Laura is a first-generation farmer in the family business and can identify with their nonfarm customer base.
