Prairie State Tractor and IL Corn Partner to Spread a Corn-y Valentine's Day Message

Forget roses and chocolates! This Valentine's Day, Prairie State Tractor is here to show you how real love grows from the ground up.

We teamed up with IL Corn to bring you a corny celebration. The collaboration resulted in a unique blend of humor and heart, featuring "corny" pick-up lines. Check out our short video:

But wait, there's more than just laughs! We also wanted to educate folks on the hidden connections between corn and Valentine's Day. Did you know...

• 99% of Illinois corn is field corn, not the sweet corn you find at the grocery store.
• Field corn has over 4,000 uses, and one of them is making corn syrup, a key ingredient in many candies.
• Corn syrup helps prevent sugar crystals, keeps things shiny, and gives hard candy that smooth, satisfying texture.

So next time you pop a sweet treat in your mouth, remember: corn farmers played a part in making your Valentine's Day extra special.

Happy Valentine's Day from Prairie State Tractor! May your love be as strong and enduring as a Midwest cornfield.
