#seasonalsaturday all about Corn!
- An ear of corn averages 800 kernels in 16 rows.
- Each year, a single US farmer provides food & fiber for 129 people – 97 in the US & 32 overseas.
- Over 55% of Iowa’s corn goes to foreign markets. The rest is used in other parts of the United States.
- Corn is also used to produce fuel alcohol – it makes gasoline burn cleaner, reducing air pollution & also doesn’t pollute the water.
