This may not be exactly what you seek, but I think you can give me
points for getting close:
*Characteristics of the Major Sweet Corn Genotypes*

characteristics_major_sweet_corn.htm
Note: The above URL is actually one continuous line and should be
entered into your browser's address box as one line.
The details are not there which you might be seeking, but I think it
gives you a hint as to the answers you need.
Meanwhile, I would suggest you start firing off e-mails to experts in
the Corn Industry other than Mr. Blah, there.
Here is a whole page of contact addresses for you at The National Corn
Growers Association site:
