We are an interdisciplinary team of University of California farm advisors, specialists and faculty. Our purpose is to provide agronomic guidelines and information related to corn production tailored to California’s growers, researchers and industry professionals.
Corn is the most widely planted grain in the United States, with most of the domestic production grown in the Midwest. In California, field corn is grown for grain and silage. In 2014, total area planted for both purposes was 520,000 acres with the highest corn grain production occurring in Sacramento, Glenn, Solano, Sutter, and Stanislaus counties. Tulare, Merced, Stanislaus, San Joaquin, and Kings were the top five producing silage counties.
