What do you mean the seeds will not grow? When the crop is ready, you harvest. And any corn planted today is hybrid seed, unless you are a home gardener and prefer the open-pollinated. And hybrid seed by nature will not reproduce true to the parent. So what are you saying?
BTW in my state they are making signs with pictures for tourists/travelors to use, identifying things like- this is a hay bale, this is a tractor etc. Trying to replace the “milk comes from the grocery store” mentality.
It used to be that farmers would set ears of corn asside so that they would have seed for the next year (thus they would not need to buy seed).
I’m saying that, according to someone I spoke to recently, I’ve forgotten who, but he said that farmers now have to buy seed each year since the saved seed will not germinate due to the way it has been engineered.
This may not be not be the tinfoil hat topic that many here think.
