I've heard many theories about what is responsible for the record-breaking heat many parts of Illinois has experienced this summer, but this one takes the cake. Why have you felt so miserable over the past few weeks? Experts claim it's because Illinois corn is sweating and I'm not even making that up.
Dew point values in corn-producing states like Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri are significantly impacted by extensive corn cultivation, affecting local weather conditions.
I've been on Earth for a few years now and have been eating fresh produce for a good many of them. I went to the grocery store and bought fresh corn on the cob for dinner last Saturday night. I got home, lit the grill and went in to prepare what would normally be a golden roasted treat. As I shucked the the ears, I was shocked.
