Question
From buttery corn on the cob to warm tortillas and yes, even succotash, corn shows up everywhere in our lives. The humble crop has become such a cornerstone of U.S. agriculture that it sparked fierce competition between states to claim corn supremacy. Looking at the numbers, which U.S. state actually produces the most corn each year?
▼
Correct Answer: Iowa
Iowa dominates U.S. corn production, churning out over 2.5 billion bushels annually and accounting for about 17% of the country's total corn crop. That's enough corn to make approximately 14 trillion pieces of movie theater popcorn, which at current concession stand prices would cost more than the U.S. national debt.
