If a cow gets into a corn field how do you find out how much of the corn the cow destroyed?
It's not that easy to take account how much corn the cow ate, other than going into the corn field, finding the tracks and tracking the cow from the point where she entered the field to the point where she came out--or were forced out.
Do you need to grind corn to feed a cow?
No, but it does make it easier for the microbes in the cow's rumen to break down and digest. Processed corn--corn which is rolled, ground or crushed--breaks the lignin comprising the skin of the corn kernel and breaks the protein matrix surrounding the starch granules. All of this make the nutrients in the kernel much easier for the ruminal bacteria to access, break down and use for their own nutritive needs before it goes to the cow.

What is cow corn?
"Cow Corn" or animal feed is simply corn that is harvested later than sweet corn. "Cow Corn" is then dried and used for animal feed, or used in ethanol. Field corn is a far less sweet for of corn and is not the same as sweet corn. It has more carbohydrates and is grown differently. Most corn will grow only one ear per stalk. Newer hybrids of field corn can grow two or three ears per stalk. It has a far drier taste then sweet corn.
Is it true that farmers grow corn by planting cow corn on the out side and sweet corn on the inside of the field so that people don't take the sweet corn?
Actually no.. quite on the contrary if any. If the farmer grows both cow corn and sweet corn, the way we did it was the sweet corn on the outside 3 or 4 or however many rows, and the cow corn on the inside. It made it easier to pick, and you didn't ruin any cow corn when you tried to harvest it, because the outside was sweet corn which had already been picked.Additional Info.While it is very occasionally done, as both the answer above and one of the discussion points mention, it is only done in either way (outside or inside the field) on a very small portion of the field -- for the farm family's convenience. If you want high quality sweet corn, it must be planted in a location isolated from field (cow) corn, or any other type of corn, because the other corn's pollen will make the sweet corn kernels go "starchy". The best sweet corn (and what you buy in the can or frozen) is grown in a field all by itself for this reason.
Would you receive more energy from eating a cow that consumed corn by eating it directly or by eating the corn?
