Corn is a grain crop that grows through both Summer and Fall from a single planting. The seed is expensive and each cob sells for little, so Corn only pays off when it is planted early in Summer and left to produce all the way to winter. It is needed for the Fall Crops Bundle and can fill the Quality Crops Bundle too. Corn is also the base of Tortilla, and an Oil Maker turns it into cooking Oil. Most villagers like it as a gift, though Pierre hates it.

The in-game description reads: One of the most popular grains. The sweet, fresh cobs are a summer favorite.

Growing

Corn grows through five stages before its first harvest. After that, the stalk gives a new cob every four days without replanting.

Corn is a two-season crop. A plant still in the ground at the end of Summer simply carries on growing into Fall, as though nothing had changed. Fertilizer under it stays in place as well. This is what makes Corn worth planting.

Planted on the first of Summer, a stalk gives four harvests before Fall. It then keeps going through Fall for seven more, eleven harvests in all. A stalk planted only in Fall gets far fewer harvests and barely earns back its seed.

Pierre's General Store sells the seeds in Summer and Fall. JojaMart sells them too, at a higher price. A Seed Maker can turn cobs into more seeds.

Speed-Gro and the Agriculturist profession only cut the time Corn takes to mature the first time. The four-day regrowth stays the same once the stalk matures. Fertilizer for quality lasts through every regrowth, so one bag of Quality or Deluxe Fertilizer improves every cob for two seasons.

Prices

Corn is one of the weakest earners when grown for a single season. A Summer-only planting barely covers the cost of the seed. Grown across both seasons, it turns a solid profit, with very little work after planting.

The Tiller profession adds ten percent to the raw price.

As a vegetable, Corn becomes Juice in a Keg or Pickles in a Preserves Jar. Pickles are worth noticeably more and take less time, so the jar is the better choice. The Artisan profession adds forty percent to both.

The Oil Maker turns one Corn into Oil. Oil is not an Artisan Good, so the Artisan profession does not raise its price. Its main use is as a cooking ingredient.

The Seed Maker offers an odd shortcut. Corn Seeds sell for more than the cob itself. A Seed Maker usually returns a couple of seeds from one cob in minutes, and those seeds sell for about as much as Pickles.

Sell prices by quality, with the bonus from each profession.

Uses

The Fall Crops Bundle in the Pantry needs one Corn. Five gold-quality Corn are one of the options for the Quality Crops Bundle. With the Remixed Bundles, the Spirit's Eve Bundle on the Bulletin Board asks for ten Corn.

Cooking a single Corn makes a Tortilla. The Queen of Sauce teaches the recipe in the first Fall, and the Stardrop Saloon also sells it. Tortilla is an ingredient in other dishes, so a few spare Corn are handy in the kitchen.

Corn may appear as a Fall request on the Help Wanted board outside Pierre's General Store. Bringing the Corn pays triple its value and adds friendship with the villager behind the request.

In tailoring, Corn in the Sewing Machine with Cloth makes a dyeable Striped Shirt. It also gives a yellow colour in the Sewing Machine and fits the yellow dye pot in Emily and Haley's house.

Notes

Plant Corn on the first of Summer and leave it until the end of Fall. The long season is the whole point of the crop.

Put Quality or Deluxe Fertilizer down before planting. Because the stalk lives for two seasons, that one bag improves every cob it ever gives.
