History of Corn


Corn is good! Corn is great!

Eat it today! See it tomorrow!

Corn has been on the minds of humans for over 80,000 years. Being a member of the grass family, its been used for centuries for many different purposes. Grown first by the Mayans, Aztecs and Inca it provided sustenance and energy for the pilgrims to plunder the US of A. It was also used as payment instead of those primitive wampum beads!

Today corn (along with growth hormones)is used to feed a majority of livestock. However, corn at one time was the vegetable of the devil since it can be used in the production of alcohol.
