Alhamisi and M'Umbha Uhura grew corn on their farm in Kitui Province, Kenya. In 2270, their daughter Nyota Uhura expressed hope in her letter to them that the corn harvest did well that year. (TAS novelization: The Slaver Weapon)
Corn was grown in vast quantities on the agrarian planet Prairie, where it was harvested by large vehicles called Harvester rigs. In 2254 Captain Christopher Pike crash landed in the shuttlecraft Icarus into the corn fields of Prairie, igniting a fire in the crops which was quickly extinguished by the crew of the Harvester rig Rostok. Shortly after Pike piloted a skimmer over the corn fields while trying to evade his Klingon pursuers, but was shot down. Fortunately the corn provided him some cover allowing him to.
