In recent years, the US corn farming industry has experienced volatile revenue largely driven by changes in corn prices, production levels and crop yields. Early in the current period, up through 2022, corn prices saw a significant increase, which resulted in considerable revenue growth for farmers. This increase was fueled by high demand for biofuels and animal feeds and limited global supplies. However, as production ramps up both domestically and internationally, the industry has begun to feel downward pressure on corn prices. Record yields have led to oversupply, driving prices downward and increasing market competition. While sectors like livestock agriculture and industrial production have supported demand, the surplus has outpaced consumption and kept prices lower, causing challenges for farmers trying to maintain profit as fertilizer and seed prices stay high. Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 1.9% to reach an estimated $66.9 billion after a decrease of 5.6% in 2025. On the international front, the US corn export market has demonstrated resilience despite reduced demand from China, driven by geopolitical tensions and China's shift toward agricultural self-sufficiency. Retaliatory tariffs have further strained this trade relationship, while increased corn production from South America has intensified global competition, impacting US market share. However, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has disrupted Ukrainian corn supplies, leading many countries to turn to the US as an alternative source. This shift has bolstered exports to Asian and Latin American markets, mitigating the decline from China. Reduced domestic demand for products like high fructose corn syrup due to health concerns has made international trade increasingly vital for balancing the US corn market. Corn prices will remain volatile in the coming years, influenced by fluctuating crude oil prices that impact ethanol production and growing international competition. Policy changes, such as ethanol mandates and evolving trade agreements, will reshape international demand, offering growth opportunities abroad if US farmers can adapt to new biofuel and market needs. Climate change is a significant concern, threatening yields due to heat stress and shifting precipitation and insect population patterns. To protect productivity, farmers will have to invest more in fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation technologies and drought-tolerant crops. Industry revenue is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 0.7% to reach $69.1 billion in 2030.
