Cornland

/ˈkɔrnlænd/ noun

Definition

Etymology

From 'corn' (the grain crop) plus 'land' (ground or territory). This compound term has been used since medieval times to describe agricultural regions dedicated to cereal grain cultivation.

Kelly Says

The American Corn Belt produces more corn than some entire countries produce food—it's a specific geographic zone of Midwestern soil and climate so perfectly suited to corn that it fundamentally shaped North American settlement patterns!
