Maize is the most widely grown crop in the Americas with 332 million metric tons grown annually in the United States alone (although 40% of the crop - 130 million tons - is used for corn ethanol.) Transgenic maize made up 85% of the maize planted in the United States in 2009. While some maize varieties grow to 12 metres (39 ft) tall, most commercially grown maize has been bred for a standardized height of 2.5 metres (8.2 ft). Sweet corn is usually shorter than field-corn varieties.
