Iowa's Corn Production. How much corn does Iowa produce? In 2016, Iowa corn farmers grew 2.7 billion bushels of corn on 13.5 million acres of land. At 56 pounds per bushel, thatâs over 150 billion pounds of field corn. Yeah, thatâs a lot of corn. (Source: USDA March, 2016) Is all the corn grown in Iowa sweet corn? You wish!
So be thankful the next time you butter up a big, delicious ear of sweet corn. How many ears grow on a corn plant? Different corn plants have different numbers of ears, but much of the field corn grown in Iowa is bred to develop just one large ear rather than several incomplete ears. This approach usually yields better total production. How many kernels are there on an ear of corn? The number of kernels per ear can vary from 500 to about 1,200. A typical ear has about 800 kernels, according to corn experts.
