Really? Only 0.4%?

Because it sure feels like there's way more corn here than that.

If you’re referring to CA, it’s % of the entire state. Think of how much of CA is arid, mountainous, or otherwise unsuitable for corn or other agriculture.

You're probably seeing mostly grapes, tomatoes, cotton and cannabis, as well as grains that aren't corn?

I definitely see more corn than all of those other things combined. And it's not even for human consumption; it's for the cows.
