    120 Corn - The National Vegetable
    May 29 2024
    Corn is so hot right now. No other crop even comes close in the 19th century.

    This week corn grows up and shows up everywhere but on the fanciest of tables. It's mush, it's booze, it's pork & beef and butter... and fancy pleated collars.

    But wait, there's more! It was important in the Napoleonic Wars, and the power shifts in Ireland. And ithelped drive America's first major economic depression. Pretty powerful for a little grain.

    I have an ENOURMOUS back catalog. Get in there.

    But for the future, I have plans for about 10 seasons. To make sure I don't absolutely turn myself into a quivering lump of jelly, structures of reasonable dimensions have been put in place to keep this baby rolling along.


    Every other week baby!

Getting Started

The information is interesting - I’ll hang around. Delivery... it’s early days. But I want to hear the whole story.
