Quite an assignment. Scientists have been working on that question for well over 400 years. and I think your supposed to put all that on a 3 x 5 card. He will never be able to read it if you include pictures.
On the first one we grow corn crops to produce either grain, silage, sweet corn, popcorn, or even occasionally green manure or ground cover.
