Moon Maize

I've long wondered just what the strange material is that the Tarheel Moon Ranger is scooping up! My best guess is popcorn! What do you think?

  2. I don't think it's popcorn. My first guess was that it looked like the spray foam used for insulation that becomes light and brittle when it dries. Could it be that, crumbled into little chunks? I could also see cat litter as a possibility, as Maverick says, but I'm not sure that type of litter was around when that photo would have been taken.

    You realize I've spent two days thinking about this!
