Maize and sweet corn are not the same thing. Most modern feed corn hybrids are so rarified that they would be almost useless as a "natural crop", at least that's my understanding; apart from anything else, most modern feed corn hybrids are mules...

As for sweet corn, I'm not sure how many of the varietals are mules, but I wouldn't be surprised if the percentage was large...
