Farming today is not what we may imagine it to be. It's become largely an industrial process, and corn epitomizes this shift in production methods. In Part 3, 'King Corn' filmmaker Curt Ellis shares his experience growing an acre of corn in Iowa, and what it was like for him and his partner. Surprisingly, the growing of 10,000 pounds of corn in one season was the easiest part of the whole farming experience. The other parts were more mundane, and more disappointing.

Corn on the brain. If you are concerned about high fructose corn syrup, join a campaign to get cola companies to switch to beet or cane sugars at thepoint[dot]com and search for corn syrup ...I just signed my name.Hopefully this starts the path to better corporate responsibility. Cola companies seem to use cane or beet sugar in countries outside the U.S. Why not in the US?

"farming is largely not what we imagine it to be..." yes...including of livestock. Check out Proposition 2 in California on stopping the extreme caging of chickens and livestock animals.

We saw this film in San Francisco in November and it is GENIUS!!!!!! If you have a chance I not only recommend for you, I would say to bring everyone you know. One of the best Documentaries in years, this should have won the Oscar by far!

I heard King Corn movie will be on TV in April 2008. PBS stations, Independent Lens is the series name.

i think the filmmaker has a lot of respect for the hard work of farming. He said what he did wasn't "hard dirty work"... toughest job was signing up for govmt programs. Most farmers are just as frustrated with the current food system in US.

to add to my other commentm, plus theres maintenance for your farm and its equipment!

This really pisses me off because hes says its not dirty hard work, when all they are growing is 1 acre,not thousands or 100s and most farms dont just grow crops!
