Corn is a major field crop in New York State with more than 1 million acres planted annually. Typically, grain corn (including dry-shelled and high-moisture) represents 55% of the acreage, whereas corn silage represents the remaining 45% of the acreage. Recently, corn has been a very profitable crop to grow because of relatively high yields as well as high prices received by farmers.
Over 73 millionacres of corn were harvested for grain. The acreage for grain comprised 92% of all corn planted. More than 80%of the corn-for-grain acreage lies in the Corn Belt States, with Iowa leading all States and Illinois ranking second.The largest acreage of record, 111 million acres, was harvested in 1917.
