Corn (maize) is grown in virtually every US state except for Alaska to at least some degree. Some states do not have the preferable climate or soil types for large amounts of corn to be produced, but some farmers will still grow a little to feed their own livestock.

∙ 13y agoCorn is originally from Mexico. (The corn mentioned in The Bible is believed to be Barley.) "Corn" in the US refers to a specific plant that most of the word calls "maize". Outside the US, "corn" is a general word that can refer to any grain or even simply small particles that look kind of like grain. Some of this survives into words and phrases like "peppercorn" or "corned beef".

The state that has the Corn Syrup factory. This is probably a state where they grow a lot of corn. I'm thinking maybe Iowa, Illinois or Wisconsin. Oooh, here's an idea: Look at the bottle.
