Wow. What a great story. I loved farm life. I live for about four years with a foster family that grew tomatoes about six acres and had about a hundred acres of lemons and oranges. They were idiots but the farm life was good.

Sweet Corn is NOT the type used in ethanol production.>>>>>>>>

It’s amazing how many people don’t know the difference. Sweet corn is a summer vegetable. Field corn is a grain that can be dried and stored, it is a commodity traded on markets. It was traditionally grown to feed to hogs and a lot still is

By George I think he got it!

Might want to resize in the future though, I think 640x480 is typical.

Warning! Thread hijack in progress!

No sweeet corn is not used for ethanol- a specific corn is grown for that, and here farmers sell it to the plant, they in turn return the mash to the farmer who uses it for cattle feed.

And here in Nebraska we have plenty of sweet corn at the farmer’s market stands/gardens. And yes one can eat field corn for corn on the cob if picked at the right time. That was all we had when I was growing up. We canned it as well as ate it for corn on the cob and it is very good- IF picked at the right time.
