Growing Ohio
Why is corn a valuable crop? How does corn grow, pollinate, and produce kernels? What farming techniques are important to increase corn yield?
Did you know?
Ethanol helps to produce cleaner air
Ethanol use is estimated to have reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 110 metric tons—equal to removing 20 million vehicles off the road—in 2016.
Food and agriculture is Ohio’s top industry
1 in 7 Ohioans has an agriculture-related job and agriculture contributes $105 billion to Ohio’s economy annually.
There are seven operational ethanol plants and 120 E-85 stations in Ohio
40% of Ohio’s corn goes towards ethanol production without reducing available stocks for food and animal feed. 33% of the corn used to produce ethanol returns to the market as animal feed (DDGs). 523 million gallons of ethanol was produced in Ohio in 2016.
Ohio corn is used for more than food
Ohio corn is used for feed, fuel and other renewable products.
