Facts
- In 2021, Indiana ranked 5th in the nation for total corn production.
- The majority of the corn you see growing in Indiana fields is not the sweet corn on the cob you might enjoy here at the Indiana State Fair. The corn you see is field corn (or dent corn). It is primarily used as feed for livestock, converted into Ethanol for fuel, or processed for into products like corn syrup or corn starch.
- Thanks to modern farming and ag science practices, corn farmers have gone from harvesting just over 20 bushels per acre in 1930 to almost 180 bushels per acre now!
