Corn: Wisconsin's official state grain...and what a grain it is! It was originally domesticated by indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica in prehistoric times. Also known as maize, it is the most widely grown grain crop in the Americas, with 332 million metric tons grown annually in the United States alone. Holy crop! Print Collection has commissioned artist Julian Montague to create our State of America series. These bright, bold, graphic images iconicize the quirky Official State Insignias from around the nation. Red States and Blue States may now be a thing of the past.
