Corn is history, corn is economy, corn is epicurean delight. As far as the eye can see, as fragrant as summer, visions of cornfields wrap around our senses like a silky husk on a fresh ear of golden kernels. Corn is big business, harvested on half of Indiana's 12 million agricultural acres. In Corn Country, author Sam Stall and photographer Darryl Jones delight readers with their verbal and visual chronicle of Indiana's love affair with its favorite crop.

About the Author:

Sam Stall, former editor of Indianapolis Monthly and a national author spent a year living in the cornfields of the midwest. He felt the soft earth as it received the kernels and shook with the harvesters pouring thousands of pounds of cattle feed into waiting trucks. His is a feisty, personal, clever and informative style that makes for a read-right-through narrative.
