Analysis
NAICS 111150 is the 2022 national industry for corn farming, part of 11115 (Corn Farming). Census lists 2 example activities under it in the official index.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include corn farming (except sweet corn), field and seed production and popcorn farming, field and seed production.
Its goods appear in 5 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 1005 (corn (maize)). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
For example, growing sweet corn are classified in 111219 (Other Vegetable (except Potato) and Melon Farming) instead.
Census lists 2 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 111219 and 111191. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
County Business Patterns does not cover crop and animal production, so there is no establishment count for it; farms are counted by the Census of Agriculture instead.
Official definition
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing corn (except sweet corn) and/or producing corn seeds.
