I've been reading about various grains and came across this page on corn suckers or tillers. I prefer the 'tiller' term because it reminds me that corn *is* a grain, and it tillers just like rice or grass.
I did not realize that tillering is an indicator of good soil.

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
