What is corn basis in the corn market?
In US commodity marketing lingo, "basis" is what they call the difference between the Chicago cash price and the price paid directly to a farmer at a local elevator. In general, basis accounts for the costs of transportation to the final terminal at, say, New Orleans. For example, if the Chicago cash price is $8.39 per bushel, and some elevators in central Iowa are offering to buy corn from farmers at $8.02 per bushel, then the basis is $0.37 (37 cents) per bushel. This is the amount the elevators must keep to cover their costs of loading and transporting the grain.

Why was corn sacred to the hopi?
Not just the Hopi people, but most Native Ameridians.
Corn is one of the "Three Sisters", the other two are Squash and Beans. They are one of the earliest examples of companion planting; growing different plant species together for mutual benefit. The Three Sisters were the first 'farm' crops grown by anybody in North America. They were vital to survival. Without the harnessing of these plants for human consumption, the human history of this continent would have been very different and much slower.
Most North American Native peoples had a version of the Three Sisters, each variety adapted to the growing conditions across the continent. They were considered gifts from the Great Spirit, sacred.
Of the Three, Corn is the oldest plant grown by mankind in N. America. It has no wild form growing naturally - teosinte is a cousin, but corn (properly called "maize". "Corn" is an English term) needs a human hand to reproduce itself, and there is no history to tell us when the Hopi took maize and domesticated it - but for certain it was a very long time ago, as the original wild plant are only found as fossils). There are 3 main types of maize: flint, dent, and sweet. Flint and it's subvarieties like popping corn, is the oldest type of corn. Dent comes next, with its Flour subvariety, and Sweet Corn is the newest. It is believed Sweet Corn was a mutation coming out of the Eastern Seaboard Iroquois maize. All corn types can be eaten unripe by humans, with varying degrees of starch and sugar in them.
What does geneticly engineered corn do to you?
Makes you less hungry.
Keep in mind that humans have been manipulating the genomes of food crops for thousands of years by selective breeding. Modern methods simply speed the process.
How do you measure bulk density of corn grains?
Very straigtforward. Take a random sample of your rain - a few grains from each sack should do.
Next, weigh an empty jar or container with the most accurate scale you have. Record this weight and subtract it from other measurements below, or just hit the "TARE" button if it is a digital scale.
fill the container with water right to the brim. Weigh again. If it weighs 434 grams (after TARE), then the volume of the jar is 434 mL (1 mL water = 1 g)
Empty the jar and dry with towel.
Fill the jar right to the brim with the grain you have. Weigh again. If it weighs 217 grams after TARE), the bulk density is the mass dividing by the volume. In this case, it would be 217 g/ 434 mL = 0.5 g/mL.
Voila!
What is the germination of corn?

Does corn on the cob go stale?
Corn on the cob should be eaten within 24 hours of being picked. This ensures that the corn has maximum moisture content and that the sugar content has not converted to starch. With that said, you can keep corn on the cob for about a week if refrigerated. The corn will not really go bad if refrigerated, it will dry out though. Check for freshness of corn by poking a kernel with your fingernail. If it is fresh juice will squirt out with force. If it's old it not squirt juice.
