The '''corn plant''' has a long growing cycle and a very high yield of 22 pieces of [[corn]]. It cannot be sown in hydroponics. Corn plants have a base growing time of 11.3 days, need a minimum soil fertility of 70%, and have a fertility sensitivity rating of 100%. Corn has the second-highest base yield per day (approx. 2.7% less than [[rice]]), but requires the least farming labor to maintain due to its long growing cycle.

The following table details how long it takes for corn plants to grow in each growable ground type, factoring in the plant resting time and being in ideal growing conditions:

==Comparison to Other Crops==

In regular soil, corn plants provide slightly less nutrition per day than rice plants (97%) and slightly more than potato plants (102%), however their primary advantage is their incredible labour efficiency: corn provides twice the nutrition per labour of potatoes, and over three times (366%) that of rice. However, these long harvest cycles also mean that losing a single harvest to blight, fire, cold snaps, or other misfortune is far more consequential than losing a crop of faster-growing plants. Planters may also sow a crop that won't reach maturity before winter hits - if your harvest comes in mid-fall, you may want to either forbid sowing to save labour or temporarily switch to rice in order to get a little more food. It's also recommended to either keep an emergency food stockpile or other alternative food source on hand in case of crop loss. When possible, planting in rich soil will help mitigate the weaknesses associated with its long grow time, while planting in low-fertility soil will exacerbate them.

Corn's exceptional shelf life means that the colony does not need to invest in freezer space for corn, as even the slightest winter will keep corn fresh until next year's harvest. Thus a corn harvest only needs to be placed in a simple shed.
