I'd like to point out a minor error here
"The European Union produced the greatest amount of wheat, 5.59, and the greatest amount of corn was produced by the United States, 9.93"
While the country European Union is correct the greatest amount isn't it should be 5.59 x 25.88 (area in hectors) same goes for corn. Fortunately both are not greatest for the same country
