[GSBN] Corn Bales

[Derek Roff]

Corn stalks contain a lot of sugar, and similar carbohydrates.  This 
makes them very attractive and digestible for micro-organisms and 
larger critters.  I'm not sure how that issue could be addressed in a 
low-tech way.  But if you could solve that problem, then corn stalks 
might work for building.
