I don't know where to buy it or how widely available it is but Roundup Ready sweet corn is starting to make inroads in American agriculture. It is apparently already on the market.
It's apparently not widely available or with any seed other than commercial use but when this gets a toe-hold it will change the way all of us grow sweet corn. Imagine, a flowing field or patch of sweet corn with no weeds and no grass from the simple act of spraying Roundup over the crop? Just think of the labor savings and crop quality improvement. Imaging the prevention of weens that will no longer blow onto other areas and infect those crops with weeds?
I've been looking but so far can't find seed for my garden so if anyone happens to know, please post it.
