Net zero in action. The new gravy train in the countryside now that CAP is gone.

Maize as in the foodstuff of the Americas since the Incas? And whose predecessors were cultivated maybe 6000-7000 years ago? Rather than the modern varietal sweetcorn with the higher sugar content?
Yeah, must be cattle feed.

They’ve just started harvesting the ‘sweetcorn’ in the field behind our place. This is the same ‘sweetcorn’ that a neighbour has been eating for the last week, despite me telling them that it’s not sweetcorn, but is in fact maze. Maze is cattle feed and tough as old boots as well as tasteless. “It’s just not quite ripe” Well I was wrong, it’s not cattle feed at all, it’s biomass. They chop it up in the field as they harvest it, then it compressed and dried as pellets and then burnt for fuel. You learn something new everyday.
