Potassium (Potash is the old farmer's name for it) is one of the three most critical elements for good production from most growing crops, and corn is no exception. Along with Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K) is what makes up the "third number" of the three numbers you see on a bag of fertilizer, like: 10-6-4, or 5-10-5. They are, in order, the relative weight of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium in that fertilizer.
Its important for alot of reasons, the main one being grain farmers make the most money from growing corn.

Yes, that is why they are called ears of corn.
Potash is generally safe when used as directed, but it can be harmful if ingested in large quantities. Inhaling potash dust can also irritate the respiratory system. It is important to follow safety precautions when handling potash to avoid any potential harm.
The map symbol for corn growing regions typically includes an image of a corn cob or stalk. These symbols are used to indicate areas where corn is cultivated or where it is a significant crop.
