I picked the rest of the corn this morning, except for the small patch in the squash bed. Actually, the yield was excellent. I got about 32 ears from 20 stalks, and most had been well pollinated. If they had been 7-8" long, instead of 3-5" long, it would have made a decent harvest. In total, they weighed 3 pounds 3 ounces.
I tossed about 6 ears that were too small to fool with, I ate one and Annie poked me and whined until I finally gave her an ear to chew on. She played with hers for a while, then left it lay uneaten. This is what is left, so I'll cut all of it off the cobs and cook it for tonight's dinner. It will probably give us one meal plus leftovers to mix with the crookneck squash and green beans.
