What is the big deal with the humble corn broom? Outfits selling to professional maintenance people sell nothing but those with sturdy wooden handles, but only those junky, worthless grooved plastic handles seem to be on the ones in the supermarkets these days. Those handles are slippery and not firmly attached. The last time we found some it was at Home Depot. Now I know more about broom corn than I used to. There's even an import quota that seems to affect mostly Mexico.
