Havest Time
I was in Central Indiana,in the Corn Belt part of the State.
Corn and Soybean are King here.With Millions of acres of Corn and Soybean,sometimes as
far as the eye can see.
This picture was taken during the last part of Harvest.
Did you know corn is America's number one field crop? Corn leads all other crops in value and volume of production. Here's some more interesting facts about corn....
Corn Math
* An ear of corn averages 800 kernels in 16 rows.
* A pound of corn consists of approximately 1,300 kernels.
* 100 bushels of corn produces approximately 7,280,000 kernels.
* Each year, a single U.S. farmer provides food and fiber for 129 people - 97 in the U.S. and 32 overseas.
* In the U.S., corn production measures more than 2 times that of any other crop.
* Over 55% of Iowa's corn goes to foreign markets. The rest is used in other parts of the United States.
Your bacon and egg breakfast, glass of milk at lunch, or hamburger for supper were all produced with U.S. corn.
# Corn is a major component in many food items like cereals, peanut butter, snack foods and soft drinks.
# U.S. researchers have led the way in finding many uses for corn - like in vitamins and amino acids.
# Corn is used to produce fuel alcohol. Fuel alcohol makes gasoline burn cleaner, reducing air pollution, and it doesn't pollute the water.
I thought I would leave out the information on "ethanol"
That's another topic.
