Anyone who harvests a lot of sweet corn by hand knows that the most time consuming part is cleaning the silk off the ears. There’s now a faster way with an invention by an Ohio Amishman, David Bontrager, Jr., Middlebury, Ind.
    His 6-in. long custom-made, 3-in. dia. brush simply connects to any 3/8-in. electric drill. The brush was designed with enough bristle strength to quickly clean off the silk, yet soft enough to keep from damaging the corn.
    The brushes sell for $26 with a small wooden stand, or $22 without, plus $7 S&H. Order direct by mail from the manufacturer, Quick Brush, or check it out online at www.cottagecraftworks.com.
