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.
For maize, the same share of world production is concentrated in a smaller number of countries, i.e. the United States, Europe (EC, CEEC), Argentina, Brazil and China. The United States alone accounts for 40 percent of the worldâs maize output. Other grain production is more widespread around the world. Â· Grains are produced for three principal reasons: direct human consumption (41 percent), animal feed (45 percent) and other uses, including industrial consumption.
