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."

--Cicero, 55 BC
