Yellow Corn

Corn Steep Liquor is a co-product from the wet milling of maize. High in digestible energy and degradable protein, this highly palatable, free flowing liquid can help improve forage intakes.

Field Corn or Sweet Corn are two most common

Protein average in corn silage is 6-9%.

The Planter helped we farmers out by making it less time consuming to plant our crops.

Only once, unless you grow it in certain regions of the world closer to the equator. Those areas can harvest two crops per year, but of course the corn has to be re-planted. This is not very common anywhere, since it is better for the soil to rotate to another crop after the corn.

StarLink Corn is a brand name of Transgenic Maize. It is biologically engineered corn meant to be poisonous to insects that often devastate corn crops. The EPA allowed the corn to be produced as livestock feed if there was a guarantee that the corn would not enter human consumption. The corn was found in Taco Bell shells and other food, and was voluntarily removed from production by the manufacturer, Aventis Bayer.

Males usually reach lengths of 3-4 feet. Females are larger than the males, and are usually 4-4.5 feet long. In captivity these snakes live longer, and therefore grow to greater lengths.

Grilled corn on the Cobb is the best in our home. Tear off the shuck, and all of the silk you can. Fill your sink with cool water, and let the corn rest in it for 5-10 min, or while your getting the grill ready. Then just lay each ear on the grill and let the grill do it's magic! The heat from the grill will start to caramelize the sugar in the corn. Turn the corn after a few minutes, when it starts browning. It's done when all sides are a light golden brown. Also, you can leave the husks on to grill. Peel back the husks, not ripping them off, & remove the silk. Pull the husks back up, then leave in the sink filled with water. Let them rest for about half an hour. When grilling, the husks will burn a bit (which is why you want to soak in water first). Turn as each side turns blackish brown. A great topping for this is some softened butter mixed with a dash of cayenne pepper. Smear over the corn, then put a squirt of lime juice onto thre corn. Divine!

For human consumption the cob and the husk are harvested. The husk is just there to protect the cob from rotting, but the cob is what is eaten. Mexican dishes (tamales) use the husk in cooking, so this is often harvested and sold separately.

For animal consumption (cows), the whole plant is usually harvested and ground to make into animal feed.

Yes they do.

Feed corn (field corn) is no different than any other corn. It tastes just as good as is as nutritious as any other corn. It is very tasty but is very slightly more tougher to chew.

Corn is often planted about 3 to 6 inches apart. When stalks begin to grow, it is often thinned ( pulled ), so that stalks stand about 12" apart. Usually the smaller, weaker plants are pulled, to allow the larger types more room to grow.

that each kernel will become a new ear of corn

Based on US average yields and protein content, it doesn't. In 2009, US farmers averaged 44 bushels per acre yield for soybeans and 165 bushels per acre for corn. Multiplying those yields times the appropriate test weights for each crop, and then factoring in average protein contents of 8% for corn and 35% for soybeans gives a total of 735 pounds of protein per acre from corn, but 924 pounds per acre from soybeans.

This assumes, of course, that the corn was harvested as a grain crop and not as silage or fodder. In that case, the sheer volume of harvested crop would account for the difference.

Stevia powder in the packets, such as in coffee shops, contains dextrose, which is a powder derived from corn.

3-4 ears of corn.

By placing the harvest corn in a grain bin and blowing warm air on it. The air is usually heated by natural gas or butane.

A bundle of wheat is called a sheaf. The plural is sheaves.

Well, you CAN eat it but youd most likely get food poisoning. :/

Animals are regularly being fed genetically modified food. At this point in time, laboratory tests are unable to detect any different in food products derived from animals that have consumed GMO food and those that have not.
