Corncob Pith to Fuel Defense Product Plant
An Associated Press dispatch reports that corncob pith may yield nitro cellulose, gunpowder, synthetic rubber and more. A plant in Missouri Valley Iowa aims to process 40 tons of corncobs daily, about 26 million bushels yearly, into defense materials this fall.
