Our nation's corn growers have been hard at work this year, harvesting the largest corn crop in history. Farmers stepped up to ensure America's consumers would have enough corn to provide an abundance of food for our families, feed for livestock and cleaner burning, renewable fuel for our nation.
In fact, efficiencies and advances in farming practices have allowed a farmer to increase the number of people he feeds from just 19 in 1940 to 144 people today. They've been able to accomplish this while lessening their environmental footprint through smart sustainability practices and lessen our nation's dependence on petroleum through ethanol production. To find out more about corn growers contributions and other interesting farming facts, visit our interactive timeline and fun facts section. (This will also give you some good information for your video production). |
