Zea mays

Right now, the corn stretches as far as the eye can see in every direction... #anticipation #notmyplant

I was thrown to learn recently that very little of the tons of corn we grow feeds anyone at all, not even farm animals. #curiouscases

That is not good

What happens to it if it isn’t used for feed? 🤔

30% is animal feed, and most of the rest is made into "gasohol" which cars can use instead of fossil fuels @jacaranda

Looks as if only 1% of U.S. corn production were for people to eat, @jacaranda !

All I wanted for dinner last night was a big bowl of corn soup #yum

Sounds delicious

Corn with a little something extra: #fungusamongus #notmyplant #notmyphoto

Hmmm... a little you say!

That’s a fungus 🤯

I hear it's delicious @dadayba but I'm not about to try it... 🤐

Wow... Thought it was a parrot head, like Cockatoo's 😅

This year I'm noticing that the critters nip the germ out of each corn kernel and leave the rest alone... #curiouscases #wildlifewednesday

Fussy little critters…..😯

Acres and acres of corn along M-59 (and any other road you can name) #101uses #myview

Not everyone's harvest was equally good this year... #midwesternnative

Oh . It's pretty though 🤷‍♀️

That's the cutest the thing I ever saw 🤭💚

Cute, but it's not sweet corn! This #glassgemcorn is a decorative variety & inedible. But it is soooo pretty! 🥰

#mutant with two cobs in one. And if that's not weird enough for you, take a gander at this: https://www.reddit.com/r/plantabuse/comments/xnnukp/sorry_but_wtf/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

That video is wild!

I know, right @lesliecole49 !

#notmyplant

My dad used to have corn fields, get memories

A lot of that around here too 🌽🍽

#notmyplant but I know the guideline is that it will be a good harvest if the plants are "knee-high by the 4th of July." It's June 30th and these stalks are up to my shoulder!
