Celebrating all our Farmers and Ranchers too on this day! Thanks for growing crops and herds to feed and provide for us all!

Happy National Farmer's Day! 👩‍🌾 Today we pay tribute to the men, women, and families who put food in the grocery stores and on our tables every day. We especially rely on farmers to get fresh food on our tables during uncertain times, and if you love to visit a pumpkin patch, just remember how much work goes into the planning, timing, and ex*****on of these festive festivals. Thank you, farmers, for all you do! 👩‍🌾 Almanac.com/national-farmers-day

Fun facts for the day courtesy of Mississippi Extension Service.

Field corn is the primary type of corn grown in the United States. It’s used for food products (cereal, chips, corn syrup, grits, corn meal), ethanol, and polymers. The main use of field corn is for animal feed. You’ve probably looked at field corn stalks and thought, “That corn is dead!” Producers leave it in the field until the corn and husks dry out, making the harvest and storage processes much easier.

Sweet corn makes up only one percent of corn grown in the U.S. each year. This is the type of corn you buy in the grocery store or from a farmers market and eat right off the cob. It’s harvested in the summer when it is tender, and the husks are still mostly green.

Bonus fact: Popcorn is a completely different type of corn that retains moisture when dried. When heated, the corn kernels pop and turn inside out, making popcorn!
