<<In Texas, corn farming requires excessive irrigation (as it does in most of the mid-Western states as well). Illinois should not be confused with Oklahoma, Iowa and Kansas (much less Texas).>>

Texas raises seed corn which one 60 pound bag raises 44,000 ears or about 260 bushels of shelled corn, or about 15,600 pounds of shelled ( no cob) corn. Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota are the 1,2,3 raisers of corn. The only irrigation I know of as to corn is sweet corn. They do it for a second crop.
