A truck driver with the Tuxedo Corn Company prepares a load of Olathe Sweet brand sweet corn to be transported from a field to the company’s distribution center in Olathe, Colo., on Monday morning, July 22, 2024. (William Woody, Special to The Denver Post) Just before sunrise on Monday, July 22, about three dozen workers of the Tuxedo Corn Company enter a corn field, cooled by overnight air, to begin the first full day of harvesting the popular Olathe Sweet brand sweet corn from a field off Falcon Road southwest of Olathe, Colorado. The workers rip the top ears from each plant and gently toss them into a large mechanical harvester where awaiting workers sort and package them into boxes, four dozen ears of sweet corn per box.
