High Amylose Corn is grown exclusively for wet milling. The starch from high amylase corn is used in the textile industry, in gum candies, as an adhesive in the manufacture of corrugated cardboard, and as a coating for french fries. These two types produced commercially are Class V (amylose content, 50-60 percent) and Class VII (amylase content, 60-70 percent). The amylase gene expression is characterized by a tarnished, translucent, and sometimes semi-full kernel appearance.
High Oil Corn is used in livestock feed, both export and domestic. In addition to HOC containing a higher level of oil, it also contains elevated protein and amino acids. What these benefits mean to a livestock producer are: no additional fat needed in the animal’s diet, no need for synthetic lysine due to the increased amino acid levels, increased palatability in the animal and less dust, thus ensuring better herd health.
NutriDense Corn is a nutrient enhanced hybrid with a minimum of 1% more oil and 2-3 units more protein than normal yellow dent corn. NutriDense hybrids contain a greater amount of the essential amino acids, including lysine, sulfur amino acids, threonine and tryptophan. To a livestock producer this means: reduced feed cost, reduction in the use of fat/oil blends in feed and reduction of odor and volume of waste due to less soybean meal added to the diet.
Yellow Waxy Corn has carved out a formidable position as the raw material of waxy corn starch for the wet corn millers. Products made from waxy corn are used by the food industry as stabilizers and thickeners for puddings, pie fillings, sauces, gravies, retorted foods, salad dressings, etc. Other waxy products are used as remodeling adhesives in the manufacture of gummed tape, in adhesives, and in the paper industry. What makes waxy corn so special is the make-up of its endosperm. It contains 100% amylopectin. This compares to 75% amylopectin content in normal dent corn. This 25% difference is what makes waxy corn a stable specialty market product.
White Corn is used in the production of corn chips and tortillas. It is also used in the production of white corn grits and corn meals. Approximately, 1% of all corn produced in the United States in white corn.
Low Phytate Corn is grown for animal feed use. This corn is lower in phytic acid which allows the animal to use all the phosphorus in the kernel. When all the phosphate is available to the animal, it does not show up in the manure. Phosphate in manure is a major concern in ground water and soil pollution. The primary users of this grain are poultry and pork producers.
Soybeans, both seed beans and beans for human consumption, are raised on the farm. The edible beans are largely used in the export market to Japan. Some are used domestically in protein supplement products.
Wheat is considered by some to be the most important human food grain produced. In fact, wheat production ranks second globally to only corn. Insight into the importance of the product can be seen in various products which include: pastas, cakes, cookies, noodles, beer, and many, many more. The nutritional value of wheat lies in the substantial amount of protein, carbohydrates, and fiber found in the crop.
