Corn broom

Most modem brooms are made of either plant materials or synthetics. The old round broom shape gave way to the more efficient flat broom, which was invented by the Shakers in the early 1800s. The modem corn broom is made of the stems of sorghum, which is also called Guinea corn or millet. The seeds of this plant are used to make bread, or as food for livestock. The tan or yellow stems are used to make bmshes and brooms. [Pg.82]
