Field corn and sweet corn are two different varieties of corn that were – and are – important for farmers. Our field corn will be used for livestock fodder, and also to make grits and cornmeal, both essential to farmer’s diets in the early and mid-twentieth century in Horry County. Sweet corn is the corn we think of as ‘corn on the cob’ – eaten fresh, grilled, boiled or roasted. We also can our sweet corn so that it may be eaten throughout the year.
