Corn

Corn (maize) can have widely varying seed counts per pound depending on the kind of corn (dent, flint, sweet, etc.) and whether the seed has been sized for mechanical planting. An approximate average across all types and sizes would be about 1,800 seeds per pound, but it can vary from as few as 1,200 per pound to over 3,500 per pound.

Standard types of sweet corn, either sugary (su) or sugar enhanced (se), have about 2,000 to 3,000 seeds per pound. Supersweet corn (sh2), generally ranges between 3,000 to 5,000 seeds per pound. Growers typically plant about 24,000 seeds per acre. Most professional seed companies offer corn seed by its seed count, not by weight. This allows the grower to more precisely purchase his or her needs.

In corn canned in a home kitchen, water is added to the corn and approximately 1 teaspoon of salt is added to each pint of corn. In commercially prepared corn, you can find sulfites (will probably be listed under other names), salt (sodium), and possibly a chemical called BPA.

There are a number of crops found in South America. Some of these include beans, potatoes, quinoa, tomatoes, cashews, as well as cacao.

Not really. A lot of the corn pick-up headers are made so that corn can be harvested standing, not swathed into a swath.

For our discussion, the two most important factors affecting corn's BTUs is moisture content and test weight. Moisture content subtracts directly from the overall weight of the corn. For example, if you have a pound of corn at 13% moisture, subtract .13 from the pound, which therefore equals .87 pounds of zero percent moisture corn. 13% of a 40-pound bag gives the consumer 34.8 pounds of zero percent moisture corn. Therefore it is evident that moisture is a key component in the amount of BTU's corn delivers. The other variable as we have stated above is test weight. Test weight is the measure of the quality and the number of BTU's per pound. Seed corn, cultivation, and weather determine the test weight per bushel. Higher test weights yield a larger BTU per pound. Typically test weight can range from 50 to 58 pounds per bushel, which corresponds to 7600 to 8500 BTU's per pound of zero percent moisture corn. When taking into consideration moisture and test weight we can fairly estimate the BTU's per pound and bag. The average test weight this year was 57.1 pounds per bushel, which equates to approx. 8,410 BTU's per pound at zero percent moisture. At 13% you have .87 pounds of zero percent moisture corn, which equals 7,316 BTU's per pound, because of the moisture content there is a loss of 1,094 BTU's per pound. Therefore, the total energy per bag would be, 40 pounds at 13% moisture times 7,316 or 292,640 BTU's per bag. When comparing with LP, 3 gallons of LP equals 274,500 BTU's. The average cost of LP has been 1.80 per gallon or 5.40 for three gallons. Therefore a 40-pound bag of corn will yield 18,140 more BTU's than 3 gallons of LP. The exact number of BTUs per pound of corn must take in efficiency of your stove, furnace or boiler.

Best way: Buy the organic corn husk (silk) tea from an online source, or from a health store. It comes in tea bags. OR, buy ORGANIC corn and take the silk from it. Don't use corn that was sprayed with pesticides! Use the silk from one cobb for one cup of tea. Pour hot water and let it stay for 5 minutes. Sweeten with honey if you want and drink up!

zea mays everta, haha next time your at the movies ask for pocorn with its scientific name see what they say! :)

That depends upon the seasoning you intend to use. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail. Alternatively for the calorie content of different types of corn, such as fresh off the cob, fresh on the cob, plain canned and creamed canned, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Kharif crops include plants such as sugarcane, soybeans, and rice. They are planted from April to May and harvested once the monsoon rains end. Rabi crops include things such as wheat, barley, and peas. They are planted in September and October and harvested once winter is over.

Iowa

It is a major corn growing state, so yes it is.

Its important for alot of reasons, the main one being grain farmers make the most money from growing corn.

Since the question asks how much corn CAN be grown, it implies what the limitations to production might be. While not every field or farm can achieve this kind of production, the world record for non-irrigated corn production is 442 bushels per acre. As always, this record will probably be broken again as seed companies and farmers continue to improve genetics and production practices.

Yes! It's the number one producer in the US, growing nearly 2.439 billion bushels of grain and 4.84 million tons of corn silage in 2009, and thousands of tons of sweet corn for processing and the fresh market as well.

No; Corn is only native to Central America. Originally, corn was a staple crop for agricultural tribes of Native Americans in that area, but it spread to other Native American tribes throughout the Americas. It was taken to other parts of the world after Columbus arrived in the New World.

Traditionaly between stones. Today people usually buy ground corn from a store. However, during a girl's Kinaalda ceremony she must grind the corn with stones just as the old days for the "alkaan" cake that is eaten at the end on the ceremony on the fourth day by everyone except the girl.

Yes, although the corn used is not the yellow, sweet, corn, that non-native people only see. The Iroquois use Flint Corn, which is a type of hominy corn. The flint corn is used to make the corn bread, corn soup, and mush.

Although Mana from heaven is the first cammercially sold cereal in that type Mr. Kellog had been making corn flakes long before that in a private health club.

This is it: I look different, I call it unique. Other cereals can't rock this geeky physique! C-O-R-N-P-O-P-S! Who's up for gym, GYM! And buffed with crunches, which helps when I swim. I'm tempting in class, and yearbooks chill. With this sweet keytar, all up in your grill! C-O-R-N-P-O-P-S! Gotta have my... C-O-R-N-P-O-P-S! Gotta have my POPS!
