The average ear of corn has 800 kernels, arranged in 16 rows. Corn always has an even number of rows on each ear. There is one piece of silk for each kernel. A bushel of corn contains about 27,000 kernels.
One bushel of corn can make 33 pounds of sweetener, 32 pounds of starch, or 2 ½ gallons of ethanol fuel.
Fresh corn on the cob will lose up to 40% of its sugar content after 6 hours of room temperature storage. The sugar is converted to starch.
