Sweet corn is soft from the day it blooms. "Cow" corn is hard it's entire lifespan. Corn feed is a better way of stating it. Hard corn "corn feed" is also packaged as popcorn. Just a little better cleaning.

∙ 12y agoSeed strain and total content of cellulose and natural starches and sugars are what differentiate cow corn and people corn.
Specifically, sweet corn, or "people" corn, is grown for the kernels in their most sugary state.
Cow corn may be one of two basic types:
1. Forage corn are the ears and stalks chopped up by a forage harvester machine and stored usually in a silo. It is fed to cattle, usually for the combination of cellulose - which a cow's stomach can digest - and natural sugars and starches.
2. Grain corn is left to mature until the kernels are their biggest, have dried out and have converted the sugars into starch. It is harvested generally by using a combine, which strips the hardened mature kernels from the rest of the plant. The kernels then are ground, to be used as:
a. Corn meal feed for cattle;
b. Corn meal feed for people, especially in the form of corn starch;
c. Ethanol.
Grain corn is the biggest use of corn as a crop.
Due to selective genetic breeding over a long time, different seed strains are used for the three purposes.

How do you tell the difference between sweet corn and cow corn stalks?
Physiologically, there is very little difference, since they are actually the same species. In general, though, sweet corn tends to have shorter and smaller-diameter stalks than feed corn. Sweet corn tassels are usually light yellow compared to feed corn's red or reddish-green tassels. However, neither of these is 100% accurate. The only way to tell the difference for sure is to know what was planted, use a DNA test, or just wait till the corn matures.
How do you tell the difference between sweet cornand field corn?
Sweet corn is just as its name implies, it is sweet. Field corn is not sweet. Also, sweet corn is usually for human consumption at an immature stage of growth as the soft kernels that are shaved off the cob, or to be sold as corn on the cob. Field corn is normally allowed to fully mature and dry down. It's usually used for ethanol production or livestock feed, and in grain-form for cereal products including breakfast cereals, harmony and grits, as alcohol and corn whiskey, and other human foodstuffs like starch, oils and sweetners. From a genetic standpoint, the expression of the Su1 or Sh2 recessive genes is what makes corn either sweet, field, or some other type. Please see the related links below for information.
