Did you know you can get 180 bushels of corn from an acre of farmland in Iowa?


Of course to get this kind of yield you must inject anhydrous ammonia directly into the soil about 2 months prior to planting the corn


I cant imagine how that would make the corn taste any better.....

We're talking field corn here, oh great commentator on matters agricultural. You know. Gasohol. Livestock feed. Corn meal. You can't eat that stuff unless they grind it up and process it or feed it to something that can become meat or crank out eggs or milk.

Growing up in a place like Iowa gives you a pretty hard, gritty view of those waves of grain, amber or otherwise...

WTH is a peckerwood anyway?

Southern slang derived from "woodpecker." Connotes an ignorant, rural man without social graces or familiarity with indoor sanitation or personal hygiene. The reversal of "wood" and "pecker" in the expression evoke the image of some stupid country hick wandering around with a hardon looking for a place to put it.

And no I ain't, except for the hardon part.

Pas got to this one first, but it's a requirement for growth for good 'ole yellow dent #2 field corn. It doesn't affect taste because this corn is largely livestock feed, ethanol fodder or ground for use in ingredients. It's not your (fictitious) great grandfather's sweet corn sold by the road side stand that you would eat off the cob. Field corn tastes like pasty drek.

In the 1940s, they were thrilled to be getting a yield of 50 bushels/acre. It's a freakin' miracle of science that we can feed so many more on so little land.

How does the process differ for corn intended for human consumption?

I thought the terms "redneck" and "hillbilly" pretty much had that covered. The only other context I've heard the term in was in regards to white supremacists.

I dont suppose the chemicals affect the livestock in any way.

Incidentally, I doubt I will ever get used to US grown corn. Corn in the old country was much less sweet and a lot less watery.

It's not so much process as it is hybrids and varieties, if you're talking about whole kernel corn for serving at the table.

What we call "sweet corn" results from hybridization of corn varieties to produce ears of desired tenderness and sweetness (aaaahh ... reminds me of a lot of old Motown hits, but never mind) that can be sold fresh for cooking at home, canned or frozen.

You eat a lot of what Chick'n'bone and I have called "field corn" in any number of products, like baking mixes and processed luncheon meats (corn meal is used as filler in bologna, hot dogs and the like).

I hate3 reading the ingredients on packaged food. Reminds me too much of "Soylent Green."

...and more prone to crop failure / famine. And poorer yield. Which means either more hungry people or livestock or more acres of trees cut down to provide new acreage for tillage.

Bushel yield per acre is not as important in 'sweet corn'. Yellow dent #2 is a starch commodity-a play on complex carbohydrate produced by the corn plant. Sweet corn (a very small minority of corn produced) is hybridized to produce so much sucrose in the plant in order to make the taste sweet. Different critter altogether.

This is starting to make sense.

Never saw Soylent Green but (for once) I get the reference.
