Highlights Versatility of Corn in 2005 ‘World of Corn’
(2-14-05)
Corn producers are continually
rethinking the role of their product in the world, redefining its
potential and researching new ways it can help meet world challenges.
The National Corn Growers Association’s (NCGA) 2005 “World
of Corn,” an 18-page source of useful corn statistics and
industry information, looks at the many ways in which corn growers
are rethinking America’s top crop.
The annual full-color
guide is a one-stop resource, containing a wealth of statistical
data on corn production and consumption, outlined in seven pages
of detailed charts and graphs. This year’s publication, themed
“Rethink,” also features information on new uses of
corn, the importance of the agriculture sector to the quality of
life in America and the corn industry’s impact on rural economies.
“The World of Corn
is the industry source for corn statistics and information,”
said NCGA CEO Rick Tolman. “This publication is used by everyone
from government officials to agribusiness leaders to high school
students.”
Numerous consumer-oriented
factoids are highlighted in the booklet, such as: “It takes
more than four bushels of corn to produce a typical Thanksgiving
dinner of turkey, ham and traditional side dishes for 10 people.”
Valuable industry
