Today, corn is the most widely produced grain in the world, with global production exceeding 1.2 billion metric tons. Despite this abundance, the Davos crowd would have us believe that our survival hinges on swapping steaks and burgers for worms and insects. If each American consumed one bushel of corn in 1936, it would’ve required 4.9 million acres of land to grow the crop. Today, even with 212 million more people, it only takes about 1.9 million acres. The USDA currently estimates the season-average corn price at $4.20 per bushel for the 2025-2026 crop year.
