  • Hopi Crop Diversity and Change
    J. Ethtlobiol. 13(2);203-231 Winter 1993 HOPI CROP DIVERSITY AND CHANGE DANIELA SOLER I and DAVID A. CLEVELAND Center for People, Food, and Environment 344 South Third Ave. Thcson, AZ 85701 ABSTRACT.-There is increasing interest in conserving indigenous crop genetic diversity ex situ as a vital resource for industrial agriculture. However, crop diver­ sity is also important for conserving indigenously based, small-scale agriculture and the farm communities which practice it. Conservation of these resources may best be accomplished, therefore, by ensuring their survival in situ as part of local farming communities like the Hopi. The Hopi are foremost among Native Ameri­ can farmers in the United States in retaining their indigenous agriculture and folk crop varieties (FVs), yet little is known about the dynamics of change and persis­ tence in their crop repertoires. The purpose of our research was to investigate agricultural crop diversity in the form of individual Hopi farmers' crop reper­ toires, to establish the relative importance of Hopi FVs and non·Hopi crop vari­ eties in those repertoires, and to explore the reasons for change or persistence in these repertoires. We report data from a 1989 survey of a small (n "" 50), oppor­ tunistic sample of Hopi farmers and discuss the dynamics of change based on cross·sectional comparisons of the data on crop variety distribution, on farmers' answers to questions about change in their crop repertoires, and on the limited comparisons possible with a 1935 survey of Hopi seed sources. Because ours is a small, nonprobabilistic sample it is not possible to make valid extrapolations to Hopi farmers in general.

  • Counting Kernels (Mean, Median, Mode and Range)
    Counting Kernels (Mean, Median, Mode and Range) Introduction Middle School Everywhere we look we see numbers: speed limit signs, gas prices, temperature for the day, and the population of a city. A set of numbers or numbers comparing more than one thing can take on a different meaning. For example, the average salary of the players on a sports team or the average class score on a math test can have various meanings. Many career fields use mean, median, mode and range to find important information that helps with understanding data and trends. Farming is one career field that uses information to help and predict corn yields in a field. Why do you think it is important for farmers to predict harvest yields? Background Information Most of the corn we grow in the U.S. is dent corn (also called field corn). While a small portion of dent corn is used for corn cereal, corn starch, corn oil and corn syrup, dent corn is a grain used mostly for livestock feed and ethanol production. You could cook and eat both sweet corn and dent corn as corn on the cob, but the dent corn won’t be as sweet and juicy. Activity This activity is designed to reinforce the concept of how to calculate mean, median, mode and range on an ear of field corn. If you have access to multiple ears, you may use them, but for this activity we will provide the data from three ears of corn. The number of kernels on an ear of corn varies depending on many factors during the growth process.

  • Corn Field Math and Science Grades 3-5 Math, Science, Social Studies Objectives Students Will Learn About Corn’S Place in the History of the Americas
    Corn Field Math and Science Grades 3-5 Math, Science, Social Studies Objectives Students will learn about corn’s place in the history of the Americas. Students will solve real life math problems using corn production. Students will display an understanding of how humans crossbred and domesticated plants. Students will classify Newtonian and Non-Newtonian substances and create polymers using cornstarch and corn syrup. Vocabulary bushel—a unit of measure usually equal to 35 liters or 9.5 gallons ethanol—a colorless liquid made from corn which can be burned as a fuel hybrid—an animal or plant that is produced from two animals or plants of different kinds polymer—a chemical compound that is made of small molecules that are arranged in a simple repeating structure to form a larger molecule silage—food for farm animals that is stored inside a silo teosinte—the wild grass plant that corn was domesticated from yield—to produce or provide (something, such as a plant or crop) Background Corn was derived from a native grass, known as teosinte. While the exact origin is unknown, tiny ears of corn have been discovered at ancient village sites and in tombs of early Americans. Evidence of corn in central Mexico suggests it was grown there as long as 9000 years ago. Teosinte is still grown in Mexico and Central America today. For more information about the domestication of corn or maize, have students watch the 17 minute video: “Popped Secret-the Mysterious Origin of Corn:” https://www.biointeractive.org/classroom-resources/popped-secret-mysterious-origin-corn Native Americans and early settlers in the United States have grown domesticated corn, also known as maize, in the southwestern US for at least 3000 years.

While a small portion is processed for use as corn cereal, corn starch, corn oil and corn syrup for human consumption, it is primarily used for livestock feed, ethanol production and other manufactured goods.

We also thought the name was unique until we learned the farmer two miles south calls his dog the same. Farmers throughout Illinois share a connection to corn. We grow it, talk about it, and drive around just to look at it. We monitor its stages of development, the rain it receives, and its health in our own fields, as well as around the county, state and Midwest. We invest in the technology to plant it at consistent depths and precise distances to resemble picket fences at emergence.

  • FIELD CORN Because of Its High Protein and Carbohydrate Content, Corn Has Been an Important Nutritional Resource for Thousands of Years
    FIELD CORN Because of its high protein and carbohydrate content, corn has been an important nutritional resource for thousands of years. Corn can be traced back to Mexican or central American cultures as early as 3400 B.C., and has become a staple among Native American civilizations throughout the Western Hemisphere. The corn plant is a North American native. It was first grown in Mexico 7,000 years ago. The native Indians first taught the pilgrims to use corn. Currently, field corn is a rather minor crop in Yuma County. In 2005, lo- cal corn producers grew roughly 300 acres of corn valued at $200,000. Field corn is also used to make whiskey, and a wide variety of industrial products such as ceram- ics, pharmaceutical drugs such as penicillin and other antibiotics, paints, crayons, shoe pol- ish, wall paper, paper goods, textiles, batteries, fireworks, cardboard, biodegradable packing materials and much more. Corn can be processed into a fuel called ethanol. More than a thousand modern items are made from corn. The United States grows more corn than any other country and is known as “maize” in many parts of the world. Corn is in touch with us daily - often without our ever knowing it. Americans would find it diffi- cult to live without corn. It is our country’s number one crop. Many people are familiar with sweet corn and enjoy it as a part of their diets. Approximately 50 percent of the U.S. corn crop is fed to livestock (hogs, cattle, sheep and poul- try). Corn is the leading source of sweetener and is used to make a wide variety of foods such as bread, breakfast cereal, corn meal, corn syrup, corn oil, corn starch, sodas, candy and chewing gum.
