Summary	Fueled by curiosity and a dash of naiveté, college buddies Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis return to their ancestral home of Greene, Iowa, to find out how the modest corn kernel conquered America.

Along the way, they unlock the hidden truths about America's modern food system.--From publisher description.
