OK, I tire.

Farmers planted record acres of corn in the spring of 2013. In fact, they planted corn in places it’s never been planted before. Corn was planted so far north that it didn’t ripen and mature before winter set in.

Acres planted 2012: 97 million acres, USDA

Acres planed 2013: 95 Million acres, USDA

The other two are false also, however you can look then up.

Not that it will matter to you, you are not one to let facts cloud your judgment.

U.S. CORN ACREAGE UP FOR FIFTH STRAIGHT YEAR
http://www.nass.usda.gov/Newsroom/2013/06_28_2013.asp

WASHINGTON, June 28, 2013 –U.S. farmers successfully overcame a cold and wet early spring this year, planting 97.4 million acres of corn, up slightly from 2012, according to the Acreage report released today by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). This is the highest acreage planted to corn since 1936 and marks a fifth year in a row of corn acreage increases in the United States...

Note the phrase "successfully overcame a cold and wet early spring", meaning that a good amount was planted late, which is contained in my above Clear fact #2: The propane was used to dry large amounts of green, immature & wet corn, generated by late plantings.

Note also that MY facts on this came directly from the USDA website, not some specious, unattributed, unlinked "Acres planed 2013: 95 Million acres, USDA" posting.
