      Spring only goes so far. They bin their corn into different diameters and then go through different settings. Sometimes they cut off too little so the corn juice went all over, but corn is cheap enough they can still make more money by saving labors.

    I was an ammonia refrigeration engineer at a facility in Oregon where we processed and froze about a million pounds of produce each day of the harvest season, much of that being corn. I think it is safe to say we froze half a million pounds of corn per day in our freezers from the beginning until the end of the harvest season.
