history

Corn heating units date back to as early as the beginning of the twentieth century. During hard economic times, farmers burned corn as a way to heat their homes. It became highly prevalent during the Great Depression because the market price of corn was very low and farmers did not have the money needed to buy fuel.

With the rising costs of fuel prices, corn heating units have become widely popular. Consumers are using this alternative heat to help lessen America's dependence on foreign oil and as a way to lower their heating bills.

Consumers using corn heat are making history. Not only are they using a homegrown, renewable fuel, but they're supporting their local economy.
