Ohio Farm Bureau, the Ohio corn industry

Corn is Ohio's second most valuable agricultural crop. It accounts for about 17% of the value of Ohio's annual agricultural output - just behind soybeans and just ahead of dairy products. Ohio is the nation's sixth largest corn-producing state, providing approximately 5% of the total U.S. crop. In all, more than 3 million acres of corn are grown and harvested in the state each year. That translates to 485 million bushels of corn worth nearly $900 million - a lot of corn in anyone's book!

This video looks at the production of corn cereal from the farm to the table and every step in between. Consumer demand for a box of corn cereal sends a signal to the grocery store, which in turn alerts the cereal producer, who notifies the grain buyer who indicates to the farmer who tends the field, plants and harvests the corn crop.
