Most People Husking Corns

It was a corny affair for every at Knott’s Berry farm. Husking the corns takes one back to the basics of farming.  The farm’s founders Walter and Cordelia Knott had come in there to make a living out of farming. Corns were one of the crops they had grown during the 1920’s . The event was like reliving the old farming heritage.351 persons  gathered at Knott’s Berry farm to husk corns.

As the countdown took off the participants had to shuck the corn, they began peeling the husk all the way to the stalk. It is a skill to peel the husk from the corn. It may be easier to say but when you actually sit to peel the stuff it gets tough. Many would feel annoying to peel of the husk . The job really gets your patience tested.

 One has to search for the tip of the corn and cut it from there. Then one has to run a knife through the husk. You have to repeat the same thing on the other side of the cob. Then the task would be take off the silk. And it is actually easier to take out most of the silk putting the corn in running cold water. It takes off most of the silk.

 Today it has grown into a an amusement park offering more than 165 rides and shows. The farm now operated by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company  offers corn in the famous Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant.
