    Believe it or not the cob has more industrial uses than the kernals.

    The husks are dried and burned as part of the fuel. In some cases, the nice inner husks are saved for Mexican food wraps.

    Today, it's not that useful as it was in the pioneer days. Advancement into the modern world left the many uses behind.

    To name a few; Tamale wrappers

    chairseats

    Hay/straw

    feed

    bird houses/squirl houses

    pipes

    But one of my favorites; Corncob Jelly... yummmy!!!

    A little bit of it gets put into landfills, but most of it is made into compost and cattle feed after it has been ground up.
