There are several types of corn varieties available for planting, including dent corn, flint corn, sweet corn, and popcorn.
Dent corn is the most widely grown type of corn and is used for animal feed, cornmeal, and ethanol production.
Flint corn, also known as Indian corn, has hard kernels and is primarily used for decoration or as a specialty food ingredient.
Sweet corn is harvested when the kernels are still in the milk stage and is sold fresh or canned.
Popcorn is a variety of corn with a hard, moisture-resistant kernel that “pops” when heated.
