  4. Two facts that surprised me about corn? One was that corn is in almost every product we buy. Another fact that surprized me was that farmers made their cows eat corn even though is caused health problems. Cows do not normaly eat corn so they are forced to eat it and usually stressed out because of that.

  9. I learned corns in everything. I didnt know they feed corn to the animals so when they kill them were eating corn, even if we dont know it. Corn was mutaded from a small piece if corn to make a better bigger piece.
    I didnt know they were mutaded it's really gross

  10. One fact i learned about corn is that feeds the human beings and the animals. Another fact about corn is that it takes alot of fosssil fuel to grow the corn. The fact that it takes alot of fossil fuel to just grow corn is very surprising because you waste alot of fossil fuel just to grow corn!

    That corn was not fed to cattle and that the corn can hurt their digestive system and kill them because the cows were not used to eating corn they ate grass. This surprised me because I thought they ate grass and only grass with this book I noticed that they also ate many things compacted including corn.Also I never knew that corn took over most crops that I thought farmers grew more of a variety than just corn and soybeans.now I know that there is no more varity in stores that I go to.

  13. One thing that suprised me is that corn is all over the place. You go into a super market thinking that you have a large variety but when really it is all made with corn. Another thing that surprised me is that when the grain elevators are full the farmers just dump the corn on the ground!
