Iowa is #1 with 1,769,000,000 total bushels of corn produced.
Illinois comes in #2 with 1,473,450,000
Iowa also grows more corn in number of acres produced.

Corn is grown throughout the United States Midwest, with concentration mostly around the states of Iowa and Illinois. There are minor growth areas along the East Coast, but the vast majority of U.S. corn is grown in the central corn belt. Corn planting in the mid-west begins in mid-April and runs through the end of May. Corn silks during the months of July and August, and harvest usually runs from the first of October through the end of November. The corn production calendar is pushed ahead one month for the southern areas of production.

There is a lot of corn just popping its little shoots up all the way around my place here in Illinois.
There's lots of corn here but I think Iowa is #1.
A lot more farmers are planting corn this year because of the new fuel that is going to be made with it.
