1. Depending on how you take care of your corn (think grooming, pesticides, etc) it should be better to eat than corn bought at the store! It might not be as big or taste as good, but it's healthier because you know how much contact it has had with people. With the veggies you buy at the store, you never know who's touched it, what's been done to it, or what chemicals the farmer used. There's absolutely nothing wrong with homegrown food!
2. You have got to be kidding me of course they are safe.
3. If you grew it yourself, then you know what pesticides and insecticides you used or not. If you didn't, then I would look into the seller's reputation in your area for being growers of healthy and safe produce. Good luck!! : )
4. DO NOT EAT CORN THAT IS HOME GROWN...every one knows that.......I'm kidding its friggin corn...youll be fine.
5. of course its safe.eat it fast tho.the second its pulled from the plant the sugar starts to turn to starch so throw it in the pot as soon as you pull it from the plant for best taste
6. Obviously you will know if it is infected. You saw it in the pictures. It is safe if you grew it safely
