WARNING: This may just be an April Fools Joke!
Knoxville, Tenn.–Exciting news! Our brilliant team in the UT Department of Plant Sciences has been developing and is now ready to announce the perfect tailgate accompaniment: Orange-and-White Checkerboard Corn!
This unique cultivar is the only corn that matches the spirit of our state with orange and white kernels arranged in rows like the end zones in Neyland Stadium. After rigorous testing, our researchers can confirm that it is not only delicious, but is also resistant to red leaf diseases like bulldogus and rolltiditis.
We hope you join us in celebrating this massive accomplishment and make plans to serve the only corn that says “GO VOLS!” at your special occasions this fall
