It is better to use various inputs to grow corn and make ethanol and use that in your cars than it is to use the gasoline and fossil fuels directly.

Mali exists mostly to itself. Few people go there. Few Malians leave. Most of Mali's 13 million people live, and seem to live quite happily, off the rice, corn and millet they grow and the long-horn cattle and goats they keep.

The human diet consists of just nine plants: corn, rice, wheat, potatoes, cassava, sorghum, millet, beans, barley, rye and oats.

Out of the thirty thousand types of edible plants thought to exist on Earth, just eleven—corn, rice, wheat, potatoes, cassava, sorghum, millet, beans, barley, rye, and oats—account for 93 percent of all that humans eat, and every one of them was first cultivated by our Neolithic ancestors.

The anticipation was that the corn crop would be devastated.

Most of our corn is either going to travel to South Bend to the ethanol production plant there, or will be shipped by rail to the Southeast.

Most analysts are on record with expectations of a decline in corn planting intentions and an increase in intentions for soybeans. The debate generally centers on the magnitude of the changes. Acreage of spring-planted crops, however, could deviate from intentions due to escalating spring wheat prices; potential for abandoned hard red winter wheat acreage to be replanted to other crops; changes, if any, in price relationships of spring-planted crops; and spring weather conditions.

When the corn is nearly ripe it bows the head and stoops lower than when it was green. When the people of God are near ripe for heaven, they grow more humble and self-denying...Paul had one foot in heaven when he called himself the chiefest of all sinners and least of saints.

We were near pandemonium conditions in the spring and summer when we realized that, yes, we were running out of corn at the time. (But) now, we're seeing a 180-degree turn from that.

We have to stop out-migration in Nebraska, and we have to do it with agriculture. The Third District is the largest agricultural district in the U.S. It's No. 1 in cattle, in corn and has the highest per capita number of people working in agriculture. I am the only agriculture guy in the race.

We're a grassroots organization, which means the Minnesota Corn Growers is run from the bottom up. Individual farmers give us direction, but in order for that to happen we have to have a strong membership-strong in numbers and strong in feeling connected to the important work we're doing.

We are the ecological choice. These trees are biodegradable, grown as a crop. We're not going into the forest and taking down trees. They are grown specifically for this purpose, as you would grow corn to eat.

We need to increase the amount of folic acid in the grain supply and add it to corn flour. That way, women will get most of the folic acid they need through a healthy diet - without having to think about it -- and their babies will be safer.

We know the corn at least some of it was South Carolina-produced.

We have the corn in this state and the production schedule for this season. We have ethanol plants expanding to meet the need. We are ready to be the leaders in Iowa.

Keynes did not teach us how to perform the miracle of turning a stone into bread, but the not at all miraculous procedure of eating the seed corn.

The payment is based on the stage of the corn. You don't get much for young corn plants.

We predict, there will be a large deficit of corn in the world, and we have the opportunity to cover the deficit as we have a large area for corn planting.

when arguing with a chicken a grain of corn is always wrong

We do get a lot of questions ranging from how to price corn to how to price cattle and, quite frankly, about the farm bill as well. And from a marketing standpoint there's no question the farm bill will have an effect on how producers manage in the next five six to seven years.

Corn is a necessary, silver is only a superfluity.

Libraries are the vessels in which the seed corn for the future is stored.

This repatriation will lower the cost of capital, create jobs, and significantly provide seed corn for some of the most dynamic sectors of our emerging economy, ... We have seen a subsidence of some of the investments we saw in the 1980s. As result, we have seen the U.S. economy not enjoy as much growth as it did in the 1980s. As a one-shot deal, this will provide a significant boost to capital at a lot of firms, the benefits of which will be felt for years to come.

With carryover supplies of corn expected to be more than 2 billion bushels, producers should plan to make some sales sometime from January to May.

With an open trade in corn and a fixed duty we should have every man in the country fully fed and happy, instead of our present situation in which so much distress exists - distress of our own producing.

Filling fast doesn't mean not paying enough attention to packing. This last step, together with immediate covering of the ensiled mass, is critical in order to protect the quality of the corn silage,

Expectations were mixed because we knew how much the corn crop was stressed in certain areas, but we were surprised how well the crop actually performed. Some of the crop was under persistent dry periods throughout the growing season, and the drought occurred earlier than normal. Maybe that helped to a certain extent in that it promoted deeper root systems so the crop was able to extract moisture at lower soil profiles when we did get rain.

We've had real good corn sales this past month and export inspections are averaging what we need to reach the USDA goal of 1.85 billion bushel estimate for the year.

Wet distillers grain and corn syrup have basically the same analysis with the same amount of solids.

We will see what corn moisture is to see if that is ready to combine.

We had thought that much lower corn prices and the opening of the border to Japan would aid poultry and beef, respectively. It would appear this is aggressive.

We wish that we can stop corn import in 2007 if we could increase production in Indonesia.

When I started growing corn almost 40 years ago, we weren't considered in the Corn Belt at all. We were considered too far north, so the seed companies weren't breeding any corn for this region. Things have changed a lot.

We are very dependent on the corn that is produced in Iowa and Illinois.

We are still in a condition of grossly overproducing for what the market can pay, at least what the market can pay that is acceptable to our corn producers,

We have exhausted our supply of canned meats. We need things like cans of chili, crackers, flour, corn meal, dried spaghetti and dried beans and rice. We have plenty of vegetables but we need those things to round the meal out.

Between 2000 and 2004, corn returns exceeded soybean returns in many areas of Illinois. Budgets suggest that recent cost increases have narrowed the gap between corn and soybean returns. Higher corn yields will be required in 2006 as compared to recent years for projected corn returns to exceed soybean returns. From a returns perspective, farmers may wish to plant soybeans on farmland that could be corn-after-corn in 2006.

As the fall grass nears depletion, we add free-choice corn silage that's mixed with lower-quality hay. The cows consume over 30 lbs of corn silage/head/day.

A stocks-to-use ration of 8.8 percent, then, means 2006-07 year-ending stocks of 1.047 billion bushels, implying a crop of 9.966 billion bushels. That is, the market appears to be trading a 2006 corn crop that is 1.146 billion bushels, or 10.3 percent, smaller than the 2005 crop. That calculation is obviously sensitive to the forecast of use. A smaller forecast of use implies a smaller crop and vice versa.

At this juncture, it appears that U.S. corn consumption and demand prospects are stronger than prospects for U.S. soybeans.

Corn is already the most subsidized crop in America, raking in a total of $51 billion in federal handouts between 1995 and 2005 - twice as much as wheat subsidies and four times as much as soybeans. Ethanol itself is propped up by hefty subsidies, including a fifty-one-cent-per-gallon tax allowance for refiners.

Corn growers are very pleased with the decision. We have worked long and hard to regain this important market for corn products. This was a huge market loss for the corn industry - more than $4 billion. Fair and balanced market access is a benefit to all sides involved. Without the tax, U.S.-produced HFCS can now compete on a more level playing field.

Corn futures have the potential to explode higher due to increased demand from ethanol production.

Corn farmers in the United States recognize the tremendous value and performance that Monsanto's insect-protected and herbicide-tolerant traits are providing to their farms. This season, we are seeing strong order patterns in our corn traits business, and early indications also reinforce that the company's value-pricing model is expected to drive penetration of our corn traits.

I toured the area this morning with (House Speaker) Dennis Hastert, ... Corn is about what you'd expect. You peel one husk, and there are maybe four or five kernels. You peel another, and there is no ear at all. You peel a third, and maybe two-thirds of the kernels are there. We'll have a better handle on what the yields are once harvest gets underway.

It's not good when it takes four bushels of corn to buy three gallons of diesel fuel, and we're pretty close to that now. But what other option do we have? Regardless of the price, you have to take the crop out of the field and do fall tillage.

It's not like planting corn in Iowa; there aren't neat rows,

It's the relative price of corn and beans and the relative yields that will determine this.

It's like walking on Kellogg's Corn Flakes -- it's so dry. It's ready to go.
