Corn is a major field crop in New York State with more than 1 million acres planted annually. Typically, grain corn (including dry-shelled and high-moisture) represents 55% of the acreage, whereas corn silage represents the remaining 45% of the acreage. Recently, corn has been a very profitable crop to grow because of relatively high yields as well as high prices received by farmers.
Iowa produces, by far, the most corn in the United States. It supplies almost 20 percent of the country's annual corn. Corn is the largest crop grown in the United States. In 2011, over 92 acres were farmed for corn alone, which results in between 12 and 13 billion bushels of corn per year.
