Research Throws New Light on Origin Of Iowa's Corn
The Iowa Development Commission cites a billion-dollar corn crop in 1952 as the peak of roughly 60,000 years of corn development. Yale and Oberlin scientists found corn pollen 200 feet underground in Mexico City drill cores, challenging prior 20,000 year timelines. Harvard botanists place corn origin at about 50,000 to 60,000 years ago.
