Seed to Your Table

How does a seed go from a plant in a field to a store to your table?

 The process isn't complicated but it is a long one. For this example I'll use corn because it is easy to undersand and most people know what it is. First the corn seed is planted in a field with a lot of other corn seeds. The seeds are then watered by an irigation system or rain or both. Some times the plants are treated with pesticids to keep the bugs off. They are also treated with nitrogen, phospherus and potassiam to promote growth. Once the corn has finished growing it is harvested and sold to a processer who prepares it for selling to a store by canning it, freezing it or just selling it as is. The store buys the corn and puts it on a shelf where you grab and by it. After you've bought the corn you take it home and prepare it for your table.
