"We're going to drown in corn this year."
The assessment, from Jeff Brown, 45 years old, a fifth-generation farmer outside Decatur, Ill., sums up the view of most people who grow, trade or process corn as they brace for another record U.S. harvest.

The U.S. Agriculture Department projected last week that production will exceed 14 billion bushels, topping last year's historic harvest.
