There's something corny about oxygen
"An average hectare of corn produces enough oxygen per hectare per day in mid summer to meet the respiratory needs of about 325 people. This means that the one million or so hectares of corn grown in Ontario produce enough oxygen for the annual respiratory needs of Ontario's 10 million residents in about 11 summer days!"

Level Plains Inc. hopes its latest business venture here blossoms.
Owner Trevor Laing has secured 605 acres of a clear-cut area to grow blueberries. He bought the land in 2003.
