Well, I'm not sure if I can give a proper description. But here goes.
Corn reproduces right? The seed being it's off spring. I think open pollinated is where the seed is basically the same (as in genetics) as it's parent stalk. Same corn can be reproduced year after year, and still be the same corn.
Hybrids on the other hand, is cross pollinated. Ends up with genetics from two different parent stalks, ending up being a cross. A cross where only the genetics will be beneficial to that one generation. If allowed to reproduce again, the genetics that it has (to do better) will be lost in its offspring. Can only be duplicated in reproduction by it's parents. For hybrids, quality of reproduction can be all over the map. Could go from exceptional good genetics of the parent plant, to terribly bad, mediocre, you name it. Usually never as good, always worse, and not uniform.
Not sure if I understand it myself, or explained it right, but I think I did good enough for you to get that point.
Google corn pollination and read about it yourself. As well as open pollination, and cross pollinated, and hybrid corn if you want to understand it further.

Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father
