As of 2024, Arizona was the top U.S. state when it came to the yield of wheat per harvested acre, at 109 bushels. This is over ten more bushels per acre than the second and third leading states, Indiana and Delaware. Wheat cultivation and production in the U.S. Although Arizona led the yield per harvested acre in 2023, the state did not have a great deal of planted nor harvested area of wheat that year. Kansas and North Dakota were the top two states in both categories. That year, Kansas planted about 8.1 million acres of wheat and harvested 5.8 million acres of it. Overall, about 1.81 million bushels of wheat were produced that year in the United States. Uses of wheat Wheat can be utilized for food, feed, fuel, or other purposes. Other grains, like maize, are used far more for feed than for food. In the United States, wheat is primarily used for food, but is also used as seed and as animal feed. In 2022, almost 90 percent of the wheat produced domestically was used for food. That year only about 90 million bushels were used for animal feed.

Maize crop yield per acre can range from 100 to 300 bushels depending on factors such as climate conditions, soil fertility, water availability, crop management techniques, and genetic factors. This article explores these factors and strategies farmers can implement to optimize maize crop productivity.

In 2024/2025, it is expected that the United States will be the largest producer of corn worldwide with a production volume amounting to about 377.6 million metric tons. China and Brazil rounded off the top corn producing countries. Corn production Corn, also known as maize, is a grain plant cultivated for food. The origin of this grain remains unknown, however, many historians believe that corn was first domesticated in Mexico's Tehuacan Valley. Types of corn include sweet corn, popcorn, pod corn, flint corn, flour corn, waxy corn and dent corn. Corn is one of the most important crops in the United States. Over the last years, the country's corn farmers experienced constant increases in annual revenues. In 2022/23, the U.S. was responsible for almost one-third of the global corn production. Iowa and Illinois were the top U.S. states based on harvested area of corn for grain in 2023. That year, Iowa's corn for grain production value amounted to approximately 11.55 million acres. In 2022/23, the United States exported around 42.5 million metric tons of corn, making the nation the world's second largest corn exporter. Mexico and China were the leading buyers of U.S. corn in 2022, purchasing approximately 662 million bushels and 579 million bushels respectively.

The United States was responsible for almost one third of the world's corn production in 2023/24. Most of the U.S. production is attributable to the Corn Belt, which is in the Midwest of the United States. Since the 1850s, corn has been the predominant crop in this area.

U.S. corn production

Most of the corn grow in in the U.S. is field corn. Field corn is not primarily for human consumption but is used to produce hundreds of other products such as ethanol, livestock feed, and other manufactured goods. In 2023, the U.S. harvested over 86 million acres of corn for grain. Wisconsin, California, and South Dakota were the top states producing corn for silage in the U.S. that year.

Global corn consumption: It’s Corn!

In 2022/23, just under 46 billion bushels of corn were consumed worldwide. The United States and China were the top consumers of corn in the world, each consuming over 11 billion bushels that year. Even though the U.S. leads in consumption globally, the consumption of sweet corn has declined drastically since 2015. Mexico, was the top importer of U.S. corn in 2022, followed by China.

Market Dynamics of Agricultural Plastic Films Market

Key Drivers for Agricultural Plastic Films Market

Increased Emphasis on Enhancing Agricultural Output Worldwide to Boost Market Growth

The market for agricultural plastic films is anticipated to rise in the future due to the increased emphasis on enhancing agricultural output worldwide. The overall output per unit of a single input is known as agricultural productivity, or output. Land productivity (yield) and labor productivity are partial factor productivity (PFP) measurements. The need for productivity on existing agricultural lands is increased by the expanding population, the need for food, and the shrinkage of agricultural lands. For instance, the United States Department of Agriculture, a federal agency based in the United States, reported in January 2022 that corn production in the United States was expected to reach 15.1 billion bushels in 2021, an increase of 7% from the 2020 projection. According to estimates, the average production in the US reached a record high of 177.0 bushels per acre. Thus, the market for agricultural plastic films is expanding as a result of the growing emphasis on enhancing agricultural output.

Usage of Cutting-edge Farming Techniques to Drive Market Growth

The market for agricultural plastic films is expanding rapidly due to the usage of cutting-edge farming techniques including mulching and greenhouse production. By establishing controlled settings that protect crops from unfavorable weather, pests, and diseases, these cutting-edge methods increase agricultural output and guarantee steady yields. For instance, greenhouse farming uses plastic sheets extensively to control light, humidity, and temperature, allowing high-value crops to be grown all year round. Comparably, mulching, which is covering the soil with plastic sheets, lowers water evaporation, inhibits weed growth, and maintains the ideal soil temperature—all of which enhance crop health and productivity. The need for agricultural plastic films designed for various uses is growing as farmers throughout the world look to maximize resource use and adjust to shifting climatic conditions, spurring innovation and market expansion.

Restraint Factor for the Agricultural Plastic Films Market

Risk of Pollution and Global Warming Will Limit Market Growth

The usage of agricultural plastic films has been increasing. In order to prevent weed growth, increase soil warmth, and decrease soil water evaporation, as well as topsoil and nutrient losses following heavy rain, these films are utilized as silage, stretch, and mulching films. These factors increase crop yields, prolong the growing season, and reduce the need for pesticide, fertilizer, and irrigation treatments. On the other side, plastic mulch films have been found to be a significant contributor to both macro- and microplastic pollution as well as global warming. Their long-term, widespread use, combined with a lack of systematic collection and management, causes them to build up in soils. As a result, it is predicted that this factor will impede the agricultural plastic films market expansion throughout the projection period.

Wheat is one of the most important crops produced in Australia. In financial year 2024, the yield of this winter crop was estimated at 2.1 metric tons per hectare, a notable year-on-year decrease. According to the source, the yield was forecast to increase in 2025. The role of wheat Wheat is grown primarily in Western Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and South Australia. Production of wheat in the country has recovered recently, despite a decline in 2024. Both bread wheat and durum wheat are used to produce wheat-based food consumed within the country. Wheat is Australia’s second-largest agriculture export commodity and one of its highest value crops. Most of the wheat produced in Australia was exported to countries within Asia and the Middle East. Challenges to growth Drought has impacted grain production across the country, with the area of land for wheat production dropping to a low in 2020. In 2019, the country imported wheat for the domestic market for the first time in 12 years. This raised biosecurity concerns among grain growers, who were worried about the potential for new weeds or diseases to be introduced. However, a shortfall in high-protein wheat can negatively impact domestic dairy farmers, who require bulk grain for their livestock. Nevertheless, the area for wheat production has since recovered.

At the outbreak of the American Civil War, the Union States had approximately double the number of horses than the Confederate States, which was useful not only for creating cavalry regiments, but also for transportation and keeping armies supplied. The Union also produced roughly half a billion bushels of corn and wheat, compared to the Confederacy's 285 million, however the confederacy produced almost all the rice in the U.S., at 225 million bushels. The Confederacy also produced most of the country's tobacco, coming in at 225 million pounds, compared to the Union's 50 million. One area where both sides were similar was in terms of livestock, with 40 million and 35 million heads respectively, however this is much higher for the Confederacy when we look at this number per capita. It is also important to note that, while there were only five of them, the Border States did have quite a high agricultural output for their size, but there are no records of which side their resources were distributed, or how much went to the war effort.

This statistic shows the states with the highest wheat production in the United States in 2023 and 2024. North Dakota was ranked as the first leading wheat production state with about 367.7 million bushels produced in 2024 and just under 307 million bushels in 2023. Wheat production Wheat is the second most important grain that is cultivated in the United States, following only corn. Wheat is a cereal crop that can be classified into five major classes. These five wheat classes include hard red winter, hard red spring, soft red winter, white, and durum wheat. Each class has a different end-use and the cultivation tends to be region-specific. Hard red winter wheat is mainly grown in the Great Plains area ranging from Montana to Texas. This type is primarily used for the production of bread flour. Hard red spring wheat is mostly cultivated in the Northern Plains area. Their wheat ears are mainly taken for protein blending purposes. Durum wheat, which is primarily grown in North Dakota and Montana, is known for their excellent qualities for producing pasta. The wheat class everyone knows from their breakfast cereal is named white wheat. Almost every U.S. state is involved in agricultural wheat production. The latest statistics show that North Dakota, Kansas and Montana were the leading wheat producing states among the United States.

In the marketing year of 2024/2025, the global production volume of wheat amounted to almost 793 million metric tons. This was an increase compared to the previous marketing year. Wheat in the U.S. The United States produces a large amount of wheat each year, a great deal of which is subsequently exported. In 2022/23, the country imported about 122 million bushels of wheat, while exporting 758 million bushels. North Dakota, Kansas, and Montana were the leading U.S. states in terms of wheat production in 2023. Post Shredded Wheat Post Shredded Wheat is a brand of breakfast cereal, made from whole wheat, owned by the American company, known as Post Consumer Brands. The brand comes in many varieties, including Frosted Shredded Wheat, Original Big Biscuit, and Original Spoon Size. When surveyed in 2020, roughly six and a half million American consumers consumed between one and four portions of regular Post Shredded Wheat for breakfast over the last seven days.

Kansas produced the highest volume of sorghum for grain of any U.S. state, according to a 2024 report. In that year, about 182 million bushels of sorghum for grain were produced in Kansas. Utilization of sorghum Sorghum is a type of edible grain that can be processed and prepared in a variety of ways. It is high in protein compared to corn and wheat, making it an attractive option for individuals on high protein diets. Sorghum can be milled into flour, eaten in its whole grain form, or made into syrup. Sorghum can also be processed into ethanol or fed to livestock. Sorghum production in the United States The volume of sorghum produced in the United States reached a peak in the 2015/2016 crop year at 15.16 million metric tons. Sorghum production has since decreased to around 11.4 million metric tons as of 2022. The area of sorghum harvested for grain in the United States has seen wide fluctuations between 2001 and 2023, reaching a maximum of around 8.6 million acres and minimums of 3.9 million acres. In 2023, around 6.1 million acres of sorghum were harvested for grain in the United States.
