Corn seed is one of the first crops planted by settlers in the new world. Corn is native to American soil and millions of farmers and home gardeners plant and harvest the corn crops each year. Corn is an annual crop and it needs warmth, sunshine and plenty of moisture to yield a large crop. There are many different varieties of corn seed and the corn produced is used for many different purposes, such as in the manufacture of alcohol, as a food source and in the production of soaps, paints and linoleum. Corn is a popular crop and it is a very useful product.

Corn seed produces crops that make a nutritious and simple feed ingredient for poultry and livestock. In the United States, poultry and livestock are responsible for consuming approximately 40 percent of the country’s corn crop. Not to mention the thousands of tons of corn products like distiller’s grains made by ethanol plants. In many Midwestern states, livestock production is responsible for powering the economy. It is essential to the well-being of many states in the U.S. and contributes in some way to the financial health of every American citizen.
