Fun Facts
- Indiana ranked 5th in the nation for total corn production.
- The majority of the corn you see growing in Indiana fields is not the sweet corn on the cob you might enjoy here at the Indiana State Fair. The corn you see is field corn (or dent corn). It is primarily used as feed for livestock, converted into Ethanol for fuel, or processed for into products like corn syrup or corn starch.
- Corn makes bourbon. To be considered bourbon, it must be made in the United States and contain at least 51% corn.
