I went and visited Ted Maddox of Warrensburg,
IL last week. Ted has 80 acres od sweet corn that he contract sells to over 74 WalMarts, County Markets, and Kroger stores. He is a local producer that has hit it "big" in the local foods and small farms group.  The picture to the left is of his trailer he uses to deliver all of his sweet corn produce. In the picture to the right, he is explaing the twine system his son did to keepthe tomato plants off the ground.  Aside from the 80 acres of sweet corn, Ted is trying his way through growing a variety of other vegetables like tomatos, onions and peppers.
