The real order is…
Washington grows about 1.2× as much sweet corn as #2 Minnesota!
📚 BackgroundPlot twist: the sweet corn you eat off the cob isn't from the Corn Belt! Washington grows the most, much of it frozen or canned. Iowa's giant corn fields are field corn — grown for animals and fuel, not your plate.(USDA NASS Quick Stats)
