Brilliant. I like "seed corn." Do humans eat that kind of corn, too, or is it ranked thing where animals eat a certain grade, but humans eat a higher grade, and this grade is used for making gasoline, and that grade is used to make corn syrup for cooking? And then there's the whole genetically-modified bit, but that has nothing to do with the book I'm working on right now. This one is strictly for very young readers and it follows a season on a farm. The farmer plants the seed corn. The seed corn grows tall. Easy words, simple sentence structure.

I like the delineation between seeds being what you plant and kernels being what you eat. And it's interesting that beans are always just beans, even when they're seeds. Hmmm.

Lots to fertilize..ahem...my book ideas here.

Thank you, ladies!
