LOL! I love Nature's april fool's issues.

As long as we are discussing the Moon, can someone give me the lowdown on corn? I get that it was brought to the world by HonEel, who mated with an Elf God on a Hero Quest of some sort.

Also, it seems to require blood sacrifice to grow properly.

Is it grown in great monoculture fields? Or is it grown with beans and squash, 3-sisters style? (which would probably be ripe for putting together a myth or two for)
