Perhaps they were those pesky masked bandits (Raccoons).... I battle them every year. Caught about 10 in a live trap last year. Sweet Corn is among their favorite delicacies. They generally manage to destroy 75-100 stalks, but considering I plant upwards to 10,000+ I guess that not too bad.
You name it & I try to grow it. I operate a roadside Produce Stand each year during harvest time to dispose of everything exceeding my needs. Every time I coax a customer to sample some raw Sweet Corn they generally eat the whole ear and keep coming back for more. I thoroughly enjoy gardening, and as soon as it begins producing practically every Dinner consists almost exclusively on what I harvest.
