Corn, or maize, wouldn’t exist as we know it if not for ancient humans who developed it from fields of ancient grain. Corn as we know it was developed by humans over centuries from a grass called teosinte. (Most people think of corn as a vegetable, but it’s really a grain). Scientists believe that corn was developed by the native peoples living in central Mexico over 7,000 years ago. The natives throughout North and South America eventually depended on maize for most of their diet. Corn spread throughout the Americas and was discovered by explorers from Europe who had never seen corn. There are numerous varieties of corn nowadays. Most corn needs high nitrogen. Composted manure makes an excellent base as well as green cover crops like red clover and fava beans. Domestic Shipping: Ships First class in a padded envelope. USPS Priority mail available.
