	Grain Belt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Corn Belt is a region of the Midwest of the United States where corn is the predominant cash crop.
		The Corn Belt also includes parts of South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri, and Kentucky.
		Since Corn Belt is a colloquial term, and corn cultivation varies naturally by year, neither definition can claim authority.

	Year-round, Corn Belt grazing
		In recent years Corn Belt graziers have been employing annual crops and stockpiling tall fescue in successful efforts to graze at least some stock 12 months a year, thus cutting feeding costs to levels far below conventional norms for their areas.
		At minimum, Cliff and other Corn Belt grazing proponents are trying to return livestock to a farming culture that, aside from a few big dairy and hog factories, has lost contact with animals.
		In addition to the grain yields — this year 161-bushel corn (nearly 30 bushels above the county average), 50-bushel soybeans, 60-bushel wheat — there is the five tons of yield he gauges from the oat/turnip/rye overseeding.

		Except for the slight increase for the medium-sized grain co-ops in the Corn Belt (where corn-soybean co-ops predominate), total sales averages were lower there and in the Pacific Northwest, where wheat-barley co-ops are most common.
		The weighted averages of prices received by large and medium-sized local grain co-ops in the Corn Belt were 21 percent and 23 percent, respectively, lower than in 1998.
		Loss rates for the medium-sized co-ops in 1999 were about the same (about 12 percent) as in 1998 in the Corn Belt and sharply lower in the Pacific Northwest (29 percent to 12.5 percent).

		WASHINGTON - The U.S. biotechnology industry dropped its opposition on Tuesday to growing pharmaceutical crops in the Corn Belt, provided federal rules are strong enough to prevent contamination of grain grown for food or livestock feed.
		Despite their allure, development of the crops was thrown in doubt last month when debris from a "pharma" corn variety created by ProdiGene Inc. became mixed with 500,000 bushels of soybeans.
		The leader of the National Corn Growers Association said in late November that stricter federal controls were needed for medicine crops but the Midwest and Plains should not be off-limits to them.

	Glyphosate-Resistant Waterhemp Moves into the Corn Belt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Resistance could spoil the effectiveness of Roundup ReadyÒ (RRÔ) technology, which is now used on about 75% of the soybeans in the U.S. It was only a few years ago that waterhemp developed resistance to the most popular soybean herbicides at that time, a family of chemistry known as ALS-inhibitors.
		Introduced in 1999, RR corn took off slowly, but Hartzler says it’s gaining popularity in pockets of the Corn Belt, especially where corn is grown for domestic use instead of export.
		Corn is also more susceptible to early-season weed competition than soybeans, notes Hoverstad.

		"It seems to work best in the Corn Belt, where we have a lot of corn stover (corn stalks), because other parts of the country have trouble coming up with as much biomass as we have," said Vernon Eidman, a university specialist in renewable energy economics.
