Corn sits in the top cash-receipt band
Among 12 commodities with national cash receipts in this ERS table, Corn ranks #2 at $71.7B (90% of peak $80.0B; IA leads production).
State concentration for corn: the top five producers (Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota, Indiana) account for about 65461% of the national receipt total in this extract, and a drought or trade shock in any one of those states moves the national price picture within a marketing year.
As a grain account, corn receipts track planted acres, yields, and farmgate prices that USDA NASS and ERS publish separately by state. Figures follow USDA Economic Research Service Farm Income and Wealth Statistics and NASS production series, not typed editorial estimates.
