7 Interesting Corn Facts By Brian K. Rosso, R.D. Michigan farmers produce 335 million bushels of corn annually. I hope you find the following facts on corn interesting. There are 11,000 corn farmers in Michigan. One ear of corn has 800 kernels. Yellow is not the only color of corn. It can also be green, red, white or purple. Corn is grown on every continent except Antarctica. Another word for corn is maize. Forty percent of the corn produced is used to make ethanol. Corn is actually part of the grass family. Corn is a major food staple for livestock and poultry. Michigan is part of the Corn Belt, an area of the country where corn grows the best. Sweet corn is a great source of fiber, iron, thiamin and vitamin C. Visit an American House today and enjoy some sweet corn, a regular item on our menu. Good for a Giggle Q.
