60. The Next 250 Years of American Corn: Growing Demand to Meet Supply
Episode 60
Thursday, 29 January, 2026
The United States of America will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of its founding this year. And throughout the quarter-millennium since the Declaration of Independence was signed, corn farmers have been feeding and fueling a growing nation. But on the heels of another record corn crop in 2025, what’s it going to take to create enough new corn demand to keep up with the supply? In this episode of the Cobcast, we discuss the future of corn with NCGA Chief Economist Krista Swanson and VP of Sustainable Production Sean Arians. Together, we’ll explore the roots of this record production, the implications for supply and demand, and the opportunities for new markets, particularly in the biomaterials and ethanol sectors. And we’ll consider what new products might help drive agricultural success over the next 250 years.
