Summer Breeze Through Corn Leaves

The wind blows constantly through the corn field which creates a soothing rustling sound from the corn shucks. Little insects start to inhabit the field as the warmth sets in. The rustling corn may act as its own scarecrow. The field looks like it goes on forever. Looks like there will be plenty of corn for Thanksgiving! Maize, known in many English-speaking countries as corn, is a grain domesticated by indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica in prehistoric times. The leafy stalk produces ears which contain seeds called kernels. Though technically a grain, maize kernels are used in cooking as a starch.
