Giant Corn Crop Would Fill Skyscraper Piles and Boost Economy

A New York Post story argues that harvesting 2.35 billion bushels of corn would create a towering pile taller than skyscrapers, weigh 180.4 billion pounds, and inject about 795 million dollars into every US family of five through farmer income and rail commerce. The piece links the corn surge to widespread benefits across mills, transport, and consumer markets, projecting boosted demand for cotton, sugar, beef, and manufactured goods. It also notes political debate on silver coinage and equal rights, with commentary on social elites and American life.
