Corn smut is not pretty. But that’s what the National Corn Growers Association is looking for.
Actually they’re looking for a different kind of corn smut:
Pick up a newspaper, turn on the evening news, listen to the radio. Corn growers are polluting the water, eroding the soil, causing global hunger. We’d cry if it weren’t so darn outrageous. Instead, we believe it’s time honor the naysayers of production agriculture with an award uniquely their own: The Corn Smut Award.
Corn Commentary invites its readers to submit nominees and categories for the award. But allow us to get things started. In the next few weeks we’ll be sharing our nominees in the following categories.
Most Outrageous Headline
Most Hyperbole in a Quote
Worst Movie
Most Worn-Out Spokesperson
