Corn production in the United States is most prevalent in the Midwest region, commonly known as the Corn Belt. This region includes states such as Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Minnesota, Ohio, Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and parts of Michigan and Kentucky. These states have the ideal combination of flat land, deep fertile soil, and favorable climate conditions for growing corn
. The top corn-producing states are Iowa and Illinois, which alone produce a significant portion of the nation's corn-over one-third of the total U.S. crop. Iowa leads with about 2.5 to 2.7 billion bushels, followed closely by Illinois with around 2.3 billion bushels. Nebraska, Minnesota, and Indiana also contribute heavily, each producing over a billion bushels annually
. In summary, corn production is heavily concentrated in the Corn Belt region of the Midwest United States, with Iowa and Illinois as the dominant producers, supported by several other Midwestern states that provide optimal growing conditions for corn.
