Where is Bt corn grown?
About 28 percent of the crop and pastureland within
the North American Corn Belt – an area extending from eastern
Kansas/Nebraska to western New York – is planted in corn (Sears
et al., 2001). In 2001, 26 percent of North American cornfields
were planted with Bt varieties, and the vast majority of
those were planted with events MON810 and Bt11 (see Figure
3).
