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.....

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.

Without the anhydrous ammonia the yield would go back to 50 bushels an acre.

Probably not-the stuff has far too much genetic potential in it for that. But yield would be lower than optimal (or profitable), that's for sure.

Great match! I think the last hockey game I watched in full was the last winter Olympics. Edge of your seat stuff-bring on the Rooskies!

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...

From the documentary you are right. The stuff is also turned into.........Corn Syrup

And masa.

Mondays suck tithe......

Hi Bruce, I'm well. And you?

That was a fantastic game last night. The result was not great for Canadian fans, but it was still a great game. Miller has been the best goalie in the NHL this season, and he's showing it.

The chicken would probably prefer to talk about corn.

I think the chicken would first, very politely, ask to be let out of the can. Or it would, if it wasnt DEAD!

At this point, I think you'll get a better matchup out of another US-Canada game. I'm very curious to see a Belarus -Czech game.
