A belt-like corn-producing region in the Midwestern United States. It is also called the Corn Belt. It accounts for nearly 80% of the nation's corn production and one-third of the world's total production. For this reason, it is said that the price of corn on the world market is determined here. In the east, it stretches from the western half of Ohio to Indiana, Illinois (second in the nation), Iowa (first), Wisconsin, Michigan, and southern Minnesota (third), South Dakota, eastern Nebraska (fourth), and northern Missouri.
