Corn Sweat Poem by Ima Ryma

Corn Sweat



What does an acre of corn do?
The corn sweats lots of H2O,
Four thousand gallons of it - true!
In just one day, and now you know.
The corn draws water from the ground
For the plant photosynthesis.
From leaves the water is air bound,
Evapotranspiration - this.
The more the moisture in the air,
The more humid is a good bet.
The reason it's more humid there -
Above the corn is the corn sweat.

If you don't like humidity,
In a corn field you should not be.
