  1. 🌽 I modeled a corn plant for my new movie. Corn will play a role in the movie 🎬

  2. work continues on my industrial ag mega-zine.

    while i was working on the "consequences of synthetic fertilizer" spreads (that's right, there will be *multiple*), i realized that i had a lot of text and not too many images.

    basically an entire spread is devoted to eutrophication and the gulf dead zone (because it's kind of a complicated subject), and i have plenty of images for that.

    but for some of the other stuff, i didn't. i know that people don't want to read too much, so after looking for a long time for appropriate images, i decided to.... make. an. infographic.

    that's right ladies and gentletheys, i have made an infographic for the first time in my life.

    the graphic shows the various uses of US corn production in percentages of total production. the data came from here: afdc.energy.gov/data/10340

    now, infographics are a touchy subject for me. it's extremely rare for me to see an infographic and think "wow, now i understand the subject better" instead of "wow, this was not helpful at all, and in fact i may be even more confused."

    a lot of infographics look nice if you sort of let your eyes unfocus and enjoy the visual element (and i respect the work it takes to do that!), but it's very rare to find an infographic that's both visually nice to look at and actually communicates something *without* being too heavy on the details (i know some people love the details, but i very quickly get visually overwhelmed when there are too many...i'm looking at you "national geographic").

    so, presented for your humble viewing, here is my first infographic, made with extreme reluctance, weirdly awkward because it had to fit into a particular space on the page, kind of crowded because i wanted it to be easily read by folks who might have trouble seeing stuff that's real small, and also i want it to communicate kind of a lot of information without getting overly-complicated.

    hooray for my first infographic, and if i ever have to make another one, may it be better.

    i hope you feel informed by it! i think this is valuable info to know: the vast majority of the #1 most-produced crop in the US does NOT go to feed people.

  8. Indian Corn

    That's all I've ever known these ears as. That is until I started did an internet search to learn more about these colorful ears of corn.
    Growing up in the Midwest these colorful ears adorned many of houses that I hung out in. Little did I know what a staple this was and how hardy this plant is, especially when it's compared to the white and yellow corn that most of us grew up eating.
