Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGG857 - Close-up editorial image of a stock-photo/gotonysmith-Preserved.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>preserved name board inside Leeds Corn Exchange reading Sheard Stubbs [Liverpool] Ltd, Grain Importers, Liverpool. The sign is mounted on a plain interior wall and records one of the merchant firms associated with the building's historic role as a centre for grain and agricultural commodity trading. Leeds Corn Exchange was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and opened in 1864, when Leeds was expanding as a commercial and industrial city. Historic England lists the building as Grade I and notes that the interior retains original features including merchants' desks, sample trays and name boards, giving this small sign wider importance as surviving trading fabric. The company history is not easily recoverable from public sources, so the safest wording is to describe Sheard Stubbs as a Liverpool grain importing or grain trading firm visible in Corn Exchange name boards. The firm appears in later records as Sheard Stubbs (Liverpool) Limited among grain-related companies, and a Cambridge University Press history of commodity markets refers to Sheard Stubbs & Co. in a 1930 Liverpool grain trade dispute involving maize, supporting the grain-merchant context without proving the exact date of this sign. The photograph is useful for editorial themes around Victorian commerce, grain imports, corn exchanges, Liverpool port trade, Leeds merchant history, food supply chains, wheat, barley, maize, commodity markets, agricultural trading, urban heritage, signwriting and reuse. The gold lettering on a dark board has a restrained archive quality, contrasting with the modern retail use of the listed building. No weather, sky or season is visible because the image is indoors, under soft interior light. It has stock value for stories about trading networks between ports and inland cities, the legacy of British grain markets, preserved commercial signage and the way repurposed heritage buildings still carry traces of their original economic purpose.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2C6RE7X - Maize from Spanish: maíz after Taino: mahiz, also known as corn, is a cereal grain first domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago. The leafy stalk of the plant produces pollen inflorescences and separate ovuliferous inflorescences called ears that yield kernels or seeds, which are fruits.
Maize has become a staple food in many parts of the world, with the total production of maize surpassing that of wheat or rice. In addition to being consumed directly by humans (often in the form of masa), maize is also used for corn ethanol, animal feed and other maize products, such as corn starch and corn syrup. The six major types of maize are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn.[5] Sugar-rich varieties called sweet corn are usually grown for human consumption as kernels, while field corn varieties are used for animal feed, various corn-based human food uses (including grinding into cornmeal or masa, pressing into corn oil, and fermentation and distillation into alcoholic beverages like bourbon whiskey), and as chemical feedstocks. Maize is also used in making ethanol and other biofuels.

The leafy stalk of the plant produces pollen inflorescences and separate ovuliferous inflorescences called ears that yield kernels or seeds, which are fruits.
Maize has become a staple food in many parts of the world, with the total production of maize surpassing that of wheat or rice. However, little of this maize is consumed directly by humans: most is used for corn ethanol, animal feed and other maize products, such as corn starch and corn syrup. The six major types of maize are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn.
Maize is widely cultivated throughout the world, and a greater weight of maize is produced each year than any other grain. In 2014, total world production was 1.04 billion tonnes, led by the United States with 35% of the total. China produced 21% of the global total.
In 2016, maize (corn) production was forecast to be over 15 billion bushels, an increase of 11% over 2014 American production. Based on conditions as of August 2016, the expected yield would be the highest ever for the United States. The area of harvested maize was forecast to be 87 million acres, an increase of 7% over 2015. Maize is especially popular in Midwestern states such as Indiana and Illinois
in the latter, it was named the state's official grain in 2017

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8FBDP - An ear is the grain-bearing tip part of the stem of a cereal plant, such as wheat or maize. It can also refer to a prominent lobe in some leaves.
The ear is a spike, consisting of a central stem on which grows tightly packed rows of flowers. These develop into fruits containing the edible seeds. In corn, it is protected by leaves called husks.
In some species (including wheat), unripe ears contribute significantly to photosynthesis, in addition to the leaves lower down the plant.
A parasite known as Anguina tritici (Ear Cockle) specifically affects the ears on wheat and rye by destroying the tissues and stems during growth. With exception to North Africa and West Asia, the parasite has been eradicated in all countries by using the crop rotation system
