What is the common use of harvested maize in the described farming system?

• A. It is exported as grain.
• B. It is dried for storage as seed.
• C. It is milled at home to make flour.
• D. It is used mainly to feed cattle.

Answer: (C)

In this farming setup, maize is treated as a staple for the household and is processed locally to provide food. After harvest, maize is commonly milled at home to make flour or meal, which is then used to prepare everyday dishes. This option fits well because it focuses on supplying the family with energy, using simple milling tools that are feasible on a small farm, and relies on local food preparation rather than relying on external markets or livestock needs. While exporting grain, saving seed for next year, or feeding cattle can happen in other systems, they are not the typical main use when the crop is primarily for direct human consumption.
