Default Calling all northern Sweetcorn growers

I've just had a look at a farmers sweetcorn/maize cob and it looks like
normal sweetcorn. The one I've just pulled had a cob inside 7 inches long
but the individual sweetcorn seeds are still quite immature. What is the
difference to "human" sweetcorn? Are they just different varieties with the
farmers ones being different in some subtle way?
