Corn is a major field crop in New York State with more than 1 million acres planted annually. Typically, grain corn (including dry-shelled and high-moisture) represents 55% of the acreage, whereas corn silage represents the remaining 45% of the acreage. Recently, corn has been a very profitable crop to grow because of relatively high yields as well as high prices received by farmers.
