According to the museum, corn began as a "small-eared bushy plant called teosinte" spread by Christopher Columbus through his travels and it had a social impact in both Europe and Africa.The Indiana museum display is 5,000 square feet. Visitors can "drive" a simulated Case IH combine through a corn field. If it's successful, a smaller version of the show will go on the road.
