Abstract: Per capita consumption of food products made from corn and oats has trended upward since 1954, following a long downtrend. In 1965 about 32 pounds of corn food products (product weight) and 3.7 pounds of oat food products were consumed per capita; both were about a sixth more than in 1954. The use of barley in food products, excluding beer, has been relatively stable at around 1 pound per capita. Only about 5 percent of all corn and oats and less than 2 percent of total barley goes directly into food products; the major use of these 3 grains is for livestock feed.
