If we all turned our hands to marigolds - we would still be experiencing miserable (in some cases dangerous) heat conditions. Yes?
Found this little factoid (now itself several years old) :
Currently the average U.S. corn planting population is just under 32,000 plants per acre and has increased 400 plants per acre per year since the 1960s. If this trend continues, the average U.S. corn planting population will reach 38,000 plants per acre in 15 years and 44,000 plants per acre in 30 years.

So ... Point taken. Corn - particularly with 'new' cultivation practices (and not so much, 'breeding'?) is noted as a (comparatively) quite high bio-mass crop. (also a water use intensive crop)
