Maize is the most widely grown crop in the Americas with 332 million metric tons grown annually in the United States alone. Transgenic maize comprised 80% of the maize planted in the United States. While some maize varieties grow up to 7 metres tall, most commercially grown maize has been bred for a standardized height of metres. Sweet corn is usually shorter than field-corn varieties.
