Source: United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, Feed Grain Yearbook. "Total Production" and "Feed and Residual Use" categories (see spreadsheet) are collected from Table 4; "Other Uses" and "Ethanol Use" categories are collected from Table 31.
Notes: “Other Uses” (see spreadsheet) is the sum of food, seed, and industrial use other than for ethanol production.
This chart shows total U.S. corn use from 1986 to 2019. The overall trend has been one of increasing production with a small decline in 2019. The amount of corn used for ethanol production increased substantially between 2001 and 2010, as nearly all gasoline was transitioned to 10% ethanol. The amount of corn used for each category has remained consistent in the past few years.
