The difference is feed corn is genetically modified with certain traits to resist pesticides and herbicides and other bugs and toxins. The genetically modified corn has too much engineering involved in it to know if it will have an adverse effect on humans. So the human consumption corn is strictly natural corn without any modifications

∙ 13y agoFrequently, though not always, sweet corn (human corn) is shorter, lighter green, and has yellow-green tassels. The ears also tend to be shorter, yet have longer flag leaves (the little leaves at the end of the husk). BUT -- the only way to know for sure is to know what was planted.

∙ 12y agoFrom a farmer's viewpoint, "feed corn" and "field corn" are pretty much interchangeable terms - corn raised for the purpose of feeding stock. The opposite is sweet corn, grown for human consumption.

Feld corn is sometimes called dent corn. As the corn drys out, it forms a dent in the top of the corn kernel hens the name dent corn. What's the difference between animal feed and your cornbread? Just the way it's cleaned. Yes, you can eat dent corn, but you pick it before it starts to dry too much. It will have a much stronger corn taste than sweet corn and not be as sweet.
In the old days, field corn was used to feed the stock, the family, and a little moonshine on the side.
