Can kernels from an ear of corn which you raised be planted?
If it was a standard "open pollinated" corn (an "old style" corn), yes - it will reproduce new corn plants and ears exactly like the one you planted the kernels from. If it is a newer hybrid corn (and 98% of all corns grown are hybrid corns) then no, it can't. It will create corn plants, that will grow ears, but the ears will revert to one or another of the parents mated to produce the hybrid - maybe with good results, maybe with very disappointing results.
Are hybrid crops widely used?
They are in the US. Nearly all corn produced is hybrid, along with many other crops as well.
Where did corn come from?
Corn grows into stalks for about 95-103 days at which time it has produced ears of new kernels (about 800 per ear), which is then harvested to either be ground into food, fed to cattle or used in renewable fuels such as ethanol. Corn is grown all over the world, particularly in the United States, Brazil, and China.
