Cracked corn vs whole feed corn
I'm new to the quilting board and I'm sure someone can help me out with this. I'm in the process of making heating pads/cooling pads as Christmas gifts for the elderly. By mistake I purchased a 50# bag of cracked corn and not feed corn. Could someone please tell me why I shouldn't use the cracked corn. Tried finding something out about it on the internet with no success. If I can't use it I'll give it to my daughter for her chickens and head for the feed store. Looking forward to your responses. Thank you.

I have had the corn ones and they are very rough compared to rice in bags. Buy rice in 50 # bags at oriental or Mexican store. If none in your area, try wheat; don't know how it compares in price, but grain size similiar to rice.

I use deer feed corn in my bags. I also read an article where they were making these to use in hospitals, and they had to use the deer feed corn. The deer feed corn is cleaner and I also think the cracked corn would have too much cob particles and more dust.
