State Corn Production Rankings
According to the USDA NASS, 41 states produced a significant harvestable amount of corn in 2022. The United States produced 13.9 billion bushels of corn in 2022, down from 15 billion bushels in 2021. There is a lot of corn grown each year in the United States.
Iowa ranked first in corn production in 2022 despite drought impacting the growing season. Iowa produced 939 times more corn than Utah, which ranks #41 in US corn production by state.
National corn prices (i.e. corn futures prices) during each year are impacted not only by the national level of production but frequently how much a specific state produces. Local cash crop basis prices are directly impacted by the market perceptions of the corn and soybean production forecasts at the county level. This can have a direct impact on the corn producer. As a result, understanding not only corn production but also forecasts of corn production can have important financial implications for all participants in the grain markets. But first, let’s examine where corn is grown in the United States.
Where is Corn Grown in the United States?
The graphic below shows where corn is grown in the United States. Each county with a green color regularly grown corn and production is reported to the USDA.
The ranking of corn production by year is presented below.
