I can’t imagine 1/3 of everything you see in an entire state being corn.

Drove through North Dakota once. It was all corn for hours. Absolutely stupid amounts.

Having lived in Chicagoland, what are the corn growing incentives there?! Every empty field in the city is full of corn. Seems smart.

Drainage 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
