- Description:
- Several varieties of corn, including flour, flint, dent, pop, and sweet, are grown in Georgia during the summer months. Although the pop and sweet varieties are produced for human consumption, most of the corn raised in Georgia is used for animal feed.

Grains, particularly corn, have been important to Georgia's citizens, livestock, wildlife, and general economy since the state's founding. Native Americans and European settlers depended on grains to sustain life and trade. Today, Georgia citizens and livestock consume billions of pounds of grains each year. Some of this grain is produced by Georgia farmers, and the rest is imported from other states and countries. - Metadata URL:
