Who says they have to grow those enormous amounts of corn, there's nothing wrong with letting the land lay fallow for a season or two.
Nobody pays a farmer or his huge investment, to just sit there while their land lays fallow.
Crops yields are also not guaranteed. You never know what the weather is going to do. Get a wet year or a dry year or a cold year or a hot year and yields are severely diminished. You plant every inch you can to hedge against a bad year.
