English term or phrase: as they can corn or wheat

Explanation:
The verb create is understood, though in the context "produce" would probably be a better choice for both milk and crops.

agree  Sheila Wilson: Certainly is unusual to use "create", but we're talking r-evolutionary process here for the milk
