Looking at ruppseeds and they list it as the best tasting one they sell. Also it appears it is a triple stack? Anybody tried it? Pricey stuff but would be nice.

I planted obsession II last year. I will never go back to non bt sweet corn again. Zero bugs! Being rr was the best part. A bag does go a long ways but it is delicious, so if you have friends like mine they all wanted to try it.

I am about to find out myself. It sucks when you can raise an awesome crop and earworms get it. My late sweetcorn patch was the only thing green left in August and the bugs found it. I hope it is as good as they say. Even though $350 is lots of money for 25k seeds its only 1.4 cents per ear in a perfect world.

I don't know if that's the same # or not, I'll have to check, but we planted Rupps RR stacked sweet corn in 2012 & it was the best sweet corn we've ever raised, even with minimal rain.
It is expensive seed, but as others say, if you split it with neighbors, it helps the cost.

Bt sweet corn has been on the market for quite a few years allready been growing that ever since it came out maybe 10 or 12 years ago, but when the RR package came out tried that also very easy to use, big improvments gmo is the only way to go , my opinion of coarse Thanks Dave

The RR sweetcorn has 2 bt. traits for earworm. Far superior to the standard BT. version from Rogers that has been around for a long time. We have constant flight's of earworm moths here in eastern ks. The RR part I could take or leave but the worm control is a blessing. If we had a planting starting to silk in late summer during a peak flight it was nearly immpossible to keep clean even with daily spray's. Not any more!
