Your field (dent) corn information is lacking. Corn meal, corn flour, corn starch, and corn syrup are all produced from field corn. That would include all cereals and snack foods.
Sweet corn (yellow, white, bi and tri colored) is mostly eaten from the cob, but is also canned and frozen.

Still, I think most yellow dent is animal feed, and the point about the spent mash is my main issue. Do you know the actual percent of yellow used for human food vs. animal?

The yellow dent that’s grown in the Midwest, 1/2 goes to animal feed, the rest for starch, ethanol, and soda pop.
Anything like meal or flour is contracted. It may be yellow corn but not what we grow here in Iowa.
