Production of sufficient quantities of corn to support ethanol production facilities occurs primarily in the mid-western states. Yields vary considerably across the states. High yields in the western states occur under irrigation. 2007 2008 2009 a 2007 2008 2009 a 2007 2008 2009 a Area planted <strong>for</strong> all purposes 2007 2008 2009 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 Acres Acres Acres Acres Acres Acres Bushels Bushels Bushels Bushels Bushels Bushels Alabama 340 260 280 280 235 250 78 104 108 21,840 24,440 27,000 Arizona 55 50 50 22 15 20 185 165 175 4,070 2,475 3,500 Arkansas 610 440 430 590 430 410 169 155 148 99,710 66,650 60,680 Cali<strong>for</strong>nia 650 670 550 190 170 160 182 195 180 34,580 33,150 28,800 Colorado 1,200 1,250 1,100 1,060 1,010 990 140 137 153 148,400 138,370 151,470 Connecticut 26 27 26 b b b b b b b b b Delaware 195 160 170 185 152 163 99 125 145 18,315 19,000 23,635 Florida 70 70 70 35 35 37 90 105 100 3,150 3,675 3,700 Georgia 510 370 420 450 310 370 127 140 140 57,150 43,400 51,800 Idaho 320 300 300 105 80 80 170 170 180 17,850 13,600 14,400 Illinois 13,200 12,100 12,000 13,050 11,900 11,800 175 179 174 2,283,750 2,130,100 2,053,200 Indiana 6,500 5,700 5,600 6,370 5,460 5,460 154 160 171 980,980 873,600 933,660 Iowa 14,200 13,300 13,700 13,900 12,800 13,400 171 171 182 2,376,900 2,188,800 2,438,800 Kansas 3,900 3,850 4,100 3,680 3,630 3,860 138 134 155 507,840 486,420 598,300 Kentucky 1,440 1,210 1,220 1,340 1,120 1,150 128 136 165 171,520 152,320 189,750 Louisiana 740 520 630 730 510 610 163 144 132 118,990 73,440 80,520 Maine 28 29 28 b b b b b b b b b Maryland 540 460 470 465 400 425 101 121 145 46,965 48,400 61,625 Massachusetts 18 19 17 b b b b b b b b b Michigan 2,650 2,400 2,350 2,340 2,140 2,070 123 138 148 287,820 295,320 309,320 Minnesota 8,400 7,700 7,600 7,850 7,200 7,150 146 164 174 1,146,100 1,180,800 1,244,100 Mississippi 930 720 730 910 700 695 148 140 126 134,680 98,000 87,570 Missouri 3,450 2,800 3,000 3,270 2,650 2,920 140 144 153 457,800 381,600 446,760 Montana 84 78 72 38 35 26 140 136 152 5,320 4,760 3,952 Nebraska 9,400 8,800 9,150 9,200 8,550 8,850 160 163 178 1,472,000 1,393,650 1,575,300 Nevada 5 5 4 b b b b b b b b b New Hampshire 14 15 15 b b b b b b b b b New Jersey 95 85 80 82 74 70 124 116 143 10,168 8,540 10,010 New Mexico 135 140 130 54 55 50 180 180 185 9,720 9,900 9,250 New York 1060 1,090 1,070 550 640 595 128 144 134 70,400 92,160 79,730 North Carolina 1090 900 870 1,010 830 800 100 78 117 101,000 64,740 93,600 North Dakota 2,560 2,550 1,950 2,350 2,300 1,740 116 124 115 272,600 285,200 200,100 Ohio 3,850 3,300 3,350 3,610 3,120 3,140 150 135 174 541,500 421,200 546,360 Oklahoma 320 370 390 270 320 320 145 115 105 39,150 36,800 33,600 Oregon 60 60 60 35 33 32 200 200 215 7,000 6,600 6,880 Pennsylvania 1,430 1,350 1,350 980 880 920 124 133 143 121,520 117,040 131,560 Rhode Island 2 2 2 b b b b b b b b b South Carolina 400 355 335 370 315 320 97 65 111 35,890 20,475 35,520 South Dakota 4,950 4,750 5,000 4,480 4,400 4,680 121 133 151 542,080 585,200 706,680 Tennessee 860 690 670 790 630 590 106 118 148 83,740 74,340 87,320 Texas 2,150 2,300 2,350 1,970 2,030 1,960 148 125 130 291,560 253,750 254,800 Utah 70 70 65 22 23 17 150 157 155 3,300 3,611 2,635 Vermont 92 94 91 b b b b b b b b b Virginia 540 470 480 405 340 330 86 108 131 34,830 36,720 43,230 Washington 195 165 170 115 90 105 210 205 215 24,150 18,450 22,575 West Virginia 48 43 47 27 26 30 111 130 126 2,997 3,380 3,780 Wisconsin 4,050 3,800 3,850 3,280 2,880 2,930 135 137 153 442,800 394,560 448,290 Wyoming 95 95 90 60 52 45 129 134 140 7,740 6,968 6,300 US 93,527 85,982 86,482 86,520 78,570 795,920 150.7 153.9 164.7 13,037,875 12,091,648 13,110,062 a Corn <strong>for</strong> grain State Area harvested Yield per harvested acre Production Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture, 2010 Agricultural Statistics , Table 1-37, http://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/Ag_Statistics/index.asp a Preliminary. b Not estimated.

The large majority of U.S. corn grain is produced in just a few mid-western states. The highest concentration of corn production is found in central Illinois, northern Iowa/southern Minnesota, and eastern Nebraska.
