...""As part of naming Tariq a South Dakota Corn-bassador, we wanted Tariq and his family to experience a combination of South Dakota's two largest industries, tourism and agriculture," Svendsen said.

She said Tariq couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the palace made of corn. "It's a dream come true!" he said.

Tariq said an ear of corn should cost $1, and though everyone doesn't have to love it, everyone should certainly give corn a taste, especially with butter. "If you or anyone loves corn, if you come to me, I'll tell you all about it," he told Recess Therapy."
