An early form of domesticated broomcorn was being harvested across northern China possibly as far back as the 8th millennium BC (Lu et al. 2009) and certainly by the late 7th millennium BC (Liu & Chen 2012). By the 4th millennium BC broomcorn was being farmed in highland Sichuan (SE China) (dâAlpoim Guedes 2011). Domesticated broomcorn is first reported in the west around the early sixth millennium BC in places including Sacarovka, Moldavia and on the Dniester by mid 6th millennium (BC Anthony 2007). It is also found in slightly younger contexts at Tepe Yahya, Iran and Arukhlo, Georgia.
Corn is the second most widely grown crop on earth today, after wheat, and in the United States itâs the largest crop. But no one in Europe knew about corn until Columbus sailed for the New World. Corn probably first grew in Central America and, by at least 2000 B.C., was cultivated by the Indians in North America. The Indians called it maize. The Indians had a legend that a beautiful maiden turned herself into a corn plant as a favor to mankind, and her hair became the corn silk.
