Ok. What grain is in CORN flakes? I tried to be subtle.
I just said it "Rice" all i know is that i don't think its right.
Sure it is -- Rice Krispies

Also Cheerios -- oats

Just read the cereal boxes!!
Now i got you right .you are really right wow.
Most or all of the corn and wheat used in breakfast cereals made in Battle Creek is shipped from other states. Michigan primarily grows grain to feed cattle and hogs.

Michigan also grows a little beet sugar, so that is also imported from other states.
When the Kellogg Company was founded over 100 years ago, it started as a small factory to make a new kind of health food. At that time, enough grain was grown in the area, that the company didn't have to ship it from other states. As the company grew larger, it exhausted the supplies of corn, wheat, and oats close by, and had to ship it from other states to Battle Creek.
