Corn.
It is a part of who we are as Americans. From the first tall, leafy stalk domesticated by early
Americans to the cutting-edge varieties that help our nation’s most widely grown crop thrive
today, corn feeds innovation and fuels our economy. Corn nourishes our cultural identity,
lighting night skies on Independence Day and filling traditional cornucopias at Thanksgiving.
Our nation’s corn farmers, through their unwavering dedication and steady perseverance,
grow a crop that sustains our people, feeds our economy and buttresses our national identity.
As you turn these pages, you too can explore the World of Corn.

the World of Corn
Unlimited Possibilities
When it comes to making an impression,
no other crop tells a story as compelling as corn.
Even on a global scale, the United States commands a deciding
lead in production – a testament to the passion of so many who look
to corn for their livelihood. As a nation focused on innovation, the
advancements in corn continue to create greater yield to satisfy even
greater demand. The opportunities for corn are truly without limit and
the numbers prove it.

62%Starch
(1,000 acre)
Corn starch is preferred in many commercial food applications due to is translucent nature versus flour which is opaque.
Corn starch can be used to create polyactic acid polymers. These can be processed into sustainable versions of fibers and plastics.
Corn syrup is used as a sweetener, thickening agent and as a humetant, a water-absorbing ingredient helping food retain freshness.
Only the starch is used to make ethanol. The remaining nutrients, protein, fiber and oil, known as Dried Distillers Grains with Soluables are used as feed.
*In dry-grind ethanol process.**In wet-mill ethanol process.Gluten feed is 20 percent protein and gluten meal is 60 percent protein

us Corn production
2012 u.s. Corn productionby state
Producing corn is a national endeavor that helps satisfy
domestic and international needs. Global demand
accounts for roughly 20 percent of our corn production
achieved through irrigated and non-irrigated practices.
In the continental US, every state adds to total corn
production numbers. And as the numbers demonstrate,
last year’s drought made a dynamic impact on the industry
like never before. While drought conditions have been a
factor in this industry, last year’s conditions proved to be
the most extensive on record, effecting roughly 80 percent
of agricultural land. Although the severity of the drought
was unexpected, we remain confident in our nation’s corn
growers to persevere and prosper in 2013.

Meeting rising demand.
Just as uses for corn continue to grow, so grows the demand for
corn. Many variables play into the importing and exporting of corn
grain across different countries, but the bottom line is clear: the
world depends on corn. While we as a nation dominate world corn
trade, we also continue to consume the most corn. Policies, like
increasing the use of higher ethanol
blends in U.S. gas stations, will serve
to increase the need for more corn
in the future.

Personal Expression
Corn has a distinct placein design and creativity.
Thanks to technological
advancements, you can find corn
in crayons – a powerful creative tool
that allows anyone to make art in any
color they choose. As a native starch,
corn supplies the needed ingredi ent in
industrial applications such as in the
manufacture of dyes and paints.
Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics share this starch ingredient as
well. It’s widely used in powdered cosmetics, soaps and antibiotic
products. Cosmetics is a lucrative business, surely helped by the fact
that, like crayons, one color is just never enough.
In our homes too, corn keeps
our environments fresh and
inviting. Wall paint contains
corn starch, carpet fibers are
made from corn and wallpaper
adhesive from starch. So from
paper to dyes, pigments to
paints, you can practically color
and cover the world with corn!
Cosmetics, such as stage makeup, are made up of corn starch. Cosmetic manufacturers are adding corn starch more often for its oil absorbing property. Corn silk has also become a popular ingredient, known to provide allantoin, a natural antioxidant and healing agent.

WHAT IS THE
CorN bElt?The term ‘Corn Belt’ is thrown around
a lot and generally refers to the upper
Midwest. But is it really a ‘belt’?
As you can see by this map from the
USDA, significant yields occur in the
Pacific Northwest, California’s Central
Valley, along the Mississippi River, and
up the Eastern Seaboard from Georgia
to Upstate New York.
It’s easy to see why no other crop is truly
more ‘All-American’ than corn.

Everyday Sustainabilty
The Sustainable Resource
Innovation and research pave an even wider path for new
uses derived from the kernel and germ oil. From foods,
beverages, snacks and livestock feed to industrial uses
in plastics, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, textiles and fuel,
getting more yield drives this industry.
Biotech corn innovation offers distinct
advantages under certain conditions
and insect pressure, helping
producers reduce yield loss during
average growing conditions. Latest
numbers conclude that biotech
accounted for 88 percent of corn
planted in 2012.
In addition to fuel, more plastics are being produced with sustainable resources like corn. This will reap great dividends in the future because nearly 10 percent of the world’s oil consumption is used to make plastics.

A Shared Vision
From food and feed to fiber and fuel, corn connects us all.
While we individually consume this vital commodity,
we gratefully acknowledge all customers and suppliers
who continually bring great knowledge, value and
efficiencies to the production and advancement
of corn.
Over 23 million U.S. jobs are tied to agriculture from growing and distribution to processing and manufacturing. These organizations are working hard to ensure America’s economy is thriving.
