Corn & Feed Grains

Corn is the most widely produced feed grain in the United States and is also processed into a multitude of food and industrial products including starch, sweeteners, corn oil, beverage and industrial alcohol, and fuel ethanol. The United States is a major player in the world corn trade market. ERS analyzes events in the domestic and global corn markets that influence supply, demand, trade, and prices.

 Spotlights

Discussions are ongoing over the use of grain for fuel instead of for food or feed and the adequacy of future grain supplies. During the ongoing farm policy debate, the U.S. feed grain sector faces uncertainty about the future level and type of government support.
