(AP) — In this photo taken July 11, 2011, Ganesan Srinivasan tastes corn grown by his students at Fresno State in Fresno, Calif., to see if the field is ready for picking.
Srinivasan is director of the University Agricultural Laboratory, where student grown and raised products earned $4.5 million in the fiscal year just ending. The university's farm store is one of the most profitable in the nation, fueled by the sales of candy-like sweet corn, which are expected to reach 1 million ears by the middle of next month.
