Barley is a cereal grain that is important in livestock nutrition. It is also used in regional dishes and as fermenting material for beer. Yellow corn is another cereal grain, but it is generally referred to as sweet corn and used in human cooking; whereas, seed corn, which is also yellow, is used as livestock feed.

How do you tell the difference between sweet corn and cow corn stalks?

Physiologically, there is very little difference, since they are actually the same species. In general, though, sweet corn tends to have shorter and smaller-diameter stalks than feed corn. Sweet corn tassels are usually light yellow compared to feed corn's red or reddish-green tassels. However, neither of these is 100% accurate. The only way to tell the difference for sure is to know what was planted, use a DNA test, or just wait till the corn matures.

On the surface it seems that these two different animals eat the same things. And in a way they do. But cattle need a higher level of protein, especially to make milk for dairy farming.

Who in Medieval Times worked with corn?

"Corn" is a word dating back to Saxon times, meaning any cereal crop (wheat, barley, oats, rye, millet and so on). It continued into Middle English with the same meaning.Manorial villeins grew corn, sometimes mixed together in the same strips of land. This was called "maslin" corn (from the Latin for mixed) and was useful if one particular variety was attacked by disease, since the other types would often grow normally. The flour produced was also called maslin, as was the bread made from it.Millers would grind the corn at their mills, which were mainly water-driven until the early 13th century when windmills became widespread.Bakers used the flour from the corn to make bread.Some corn was kept back as seed for the next crop; other corn might be used to feed hens or geese which were kept for their eggs.
