Grain Belt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (211 words)
The Corn Belt is a region of the Midwest of the United States where corn is the predominant cash crop.
The Corn Belt also includes parts of South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri, and Kentucky.
Since Corn Belt is a colloquial term, and corn cultivation varies naturally by year, neither definition can claim authority.
corn: Definition and Much More From Answers.com (6043 words)
Corn migrated from its center of origin, presumed to be Mexico or Central America, and was being cultivated by the Indians as far north as New England upon the arrival of the first European colonists, whose survival was due largely to the use of corn as food.
Corn was a major source of livestock feed in the 1990s and early 2000s, with approximately 50 percent of the annual harvest being fed to chickens, hogs, and cattle.
Corn is planted in the spring and harvested in the summer and fall.
