A Record Large, High Quality Corn Crop

According to the U.S. Grains and BioProducts Council’s annual Corn Harvest Quality Report, U.S. farmers harvested a record-breaking corn crop this fall. The amount of broken corn and foreign material was the lowest in the 15-year history of this report. Over 87 percent of the corn samples evaluated met the requirements for U.S. No. 1 grade and 98 percent was fit for U.S. No. 2 grade corn. Over 600 corn samples were taken in the 12 largest corn production states.
