The US Censusâ âraceâ question will continue to become ever-more meaningless as long as it attempts to separate and group things in ways that have little or no meaning. There is no such race as âWhiteâ or âHispanic.â Hispanic is a cultural identification; one may be Hispanic and Bback, Asian, etc.
Using todays corn closing here in my area I would only pay $.05 per pound for dry ear corn. Don't worry how many bushels are in the wagon use only weights from a scale. For years the standard has been 70 lbs ear corn = 1 bushel of shell corn. But 2 years ago I bought a variety from a neighbor that ended up 68# .
Common ear rots and kernel molds. Aspergillus ear rot. Typically a problem during hot, dry years. Can produce a potentially carcinogenic aflatoxin. Use caution when handling. Gray-green or olive colored powdery fungal growth starting at the ear tip. Fusarium ear rot. Most common fungal disease on corn ears, present most years. Disease enters mainly through ear damage. Infections typically start at ear tip and can infect individual kernels. Infected kernels display white streaking on the pericarp, usually in a starburst pattern.
