No Data = Stealth Corn
53 0 ReplyHonestly it fits my theory that one of the Dakotas doesn't really exist.
It's probably where all the birds are controlled from.
9 0 ReplyOne of them certainly shouldn't exist. The fact that that area is split into two states is only to have two more Republican Senators.

TIL most US corn is Republican
21 2 ReplyThe second highest on this map, illinois, is a Dem state
20 4 ReplyTo be fair, the corn isn’t growing in the blue part of Illinois
34 1 ReplyMultiple counties in Illinois voted in favor of exploring secession from the state because they don't like how Chicago turns the state blue. It would definitely be a red state without us.
17 2 ReplyOnly because of Chicago & C(r)ook County. Virtually the rest of Illinois is red.
6 1 ReplyYup, and Michigan and Wisconsin are swing states. It’s still the vast majority.

Hard to believe there is no data on corn fields in the home state of the Corn Palace.
14 0 ReplyIt's roughly 13%, looked up a more recent map because I was curious about the "garden state" I grew up in. I know we're the most densely populated but not even 2% seemed surprising with how many corn fields I pass by while driving.

13 0 ReplyWhy are you telling me which states have no data?
I thought this was about corn?
13 0 ReplyI don't agree with the color choice. Green would've been much nicer.
13 0 ReplyIt all should have been shades of yellow.

Monocultures are environmentally devastating btw.
8 0 ReplyReally? Only 0.4%?
Because it sure feels like there's way more corn here than that.
7 1 ReplyIf you’re referring to CA, it’s % of the entire state. Think of how much of CA is arid, mountainous, or otherwise unsuitable for corn or other agriculture.
7 0 ReplyYou're probably seeing mostly grapes, tomatoes, cotton and cannabis, as well as grains that aren't corn?
3 0 ReplyI definitely see more corn than all of those other things combined. And it's not even for human consumption; it's for the cows.

Having lived in Chicagoland, what are the corn growing incentives there?! Every empty field in the city is full of corn. Seems smart.
5 0 ReplyDrainage and flood risk. Chicago is basically a swamp. Idk about every lot, there's probably ridiculous tax loopholes and kick backs, etc what with it being Illinois. But there's a lot of shit land in and around Chicago

Having flown over Iowa in a small plane many times this checks out
4 0 ReplyLiving in Iowa, this checks out. All I know is corn.
3 0 ReplyHaving lived in Iowa, the number honestly feels a little low. I guess the soybeans have to grow somewhere.
1 0 Reply

4 0 ReplyI'll be honest, I thought Ohio would be higher...
4 0 ReplyThe other 87% of Ohio is soy beans

Drove through North Dakota once. It was all corn for hours. Absolutely stupid amounts.
3 0 ReplyAs a foreigner, based on my road trip from Houston to Port Fourchon in Louisiana, I would have thunk those two percentages would've been substantially higher. Especially Louisiana.
2 0 ReplyIt's cheaper to grow corn closer to the main roads.
