What is the most commonly grown vegetable in US?

While it's often thought of as a grain, corn is botanically classified as a vegetable due to its edible seeds.

Here's why corn takes the top spot:

* Large acreage: Corn is grown on a vast amount of land in the US, primarily for animal feed and biofuel production.

* Versatility: Corn can be used in a variety of ways, including for food (sweet corn, popcorn, cornmeal), animal feed, and ethanol production.

* High yield: Corn produces a high yield per acre, making it an efficient crop.

While other vegetables like tomatoes, lettuce, and potatoes are also widely grown, corn takes the lead in terms of total acreage and production volume.
