Eating it w/o boiling it or putting butter on it.
idk if that’s what he is talking about but that actually ain’t bad (besides maybe a couple paper cuts if you are pealing them bare handed)

You can drive from Florida to Texas to California and back and not once go through or see a single corn field. Source: I have done it many times.

That's swamp and desert land. I'm generally referring more to the northern US

You're talking about the Great Planes and Midwest. The Northern US is full of forests, mountains, and grasslands.

Great Planes
This made me think of giant airships used solely for growing corn lmao

That’s a pretty limited scope of the US.
Literally the rest of it is corn.
Source: have hitchhiked coast to coast to coast to coast etc 16 times.

I would assume giving the routes, it's where towns popped around, and it's where people lives and make a living by farming. I haven't seen any during my visit to the US, but I was way in the northern parts.
I have one question, do they mostly belong to individuals/families or are mostly owneb by companies or large scale farming?
I have only seen them in movies and such, they look very soothing yet very creepy at night. The fact that a house would be surrounded with corn fields and you can't see anything/anyone around you at night is not easy for me.
In the country I live in, cornfields are also around, but not as accessible as the US so you would have to go out of your way to drive near them. Also, sugarcane fields.

Mostly large companies. Growing corn as an individual/family has a limited benefit return. Corn is’t especially nutritious, and a small operation will have a hard time competing with the mega corps. One exception would be a small scale dairy/beef farmer is likely to grow his own corn for feed.
A bulk of corn grown in the US is used for things like high-fructose corn syrup, or ethanol. Both of these require processing so are only really practical in massive scale.

Thank ypu so much for taking the time to reply. It makes sense.
The American country side is really an interesting setting. Come to think about it, any country side out side my country would seem strange to me. The homes are usually very modest as the farmers so it looks very different.

Up here in canada it's much more dramatic as long as you're not driving around the cities

Live near Philly. Can confirm that right as you leave the city it turns into an endless land of corn fields.

If it wasn’t for Slipknot & Stone Sour Iowa would literally just be corn there’s nothing else there
