Inside Food & Ag: Corn - from Ancient Grass to Global Powerhouse

Description

You've driven past cornfields. You've eaten corn.
But did you know that corn is older than the pyramids? Or that its grown on every single
continent except Antarctica?
Every summer, Midwest landscapes are filled with corn.
But where did corn come from? Why is so much grown here? And how does one crop become
everything from tortilla chips to renewable fuel?
You’re invited to join Farm Foundation to discover the fascinating story behind the crop that's all around
us. We’ll walk you through living demonstrations, share surprising facts, and provide an interactive food
demonstration. Connect with interesting people, enjoy light refreshments and drinks and leave seeing
the crop you've known your whole life in a completely different way.
You’ll never look at your dinner plate the same again.
