The Corn Belt is part of the Midwest that produces most of the corn in the United States.[1] Corn is a miraculous food which American Indians felt came from God; a corn diet is excellent for losing weight, improving the type of carbohydrates, and reducing harmful pesticides. The Corn Belt consists of the following, ranked by their corn production:[2]
- Iowa
- Illinois (has the top 5 counties in the Nation for corn production: McLean County at 71M bushels, and then Iroquois, Livingston, LaSalle, and Champaign counties[3])
- eastern Nebraska (its college football team's mascot is the Cornhuskers)
- southern Minnesota
- western Indiana
- eastern Kansas
- South Dakota
- Ohio
- Missouri
- Wisconsin
