Answer :

corn silk tells the story, just look to see if the silk is dark brown.....if it is...just pull one off and open it.  Hope that you find a worm because if you do it sweet corn.  Just rinse it off and the chickens will eat the silk and the cows will eat the green outer leaves the empty cobs and the entire cornstalk.
