Wish I knew about this - I would have gone to see the trip. Well, at least my state is on the map for something. If it were possible to grow giant corn, we would definitely be in the news for that.
- gibspaulding 4y agoLooks like Costa Rica has the record there: https://www.neogen.com/neocenter/blog/worlds-tallest-corn-plant-takes-the-world-record-at-45-feet/ https://www.neogen.com/neocenter/blog/worlds-tallest-corn-pl...
