The sugar you buy in the grocery store or market (powdered sugar, white granulated, brown sugar, etc.) is not made from corn stalks. They are made from either sugar cane or sugar beets. Corn syrup is made from the grain of field corn. That said, there are new cultivars of corn which have been bred and selected from tropical varieties to produce high levels of sugar in the stalks. In more northern areas of the US, these varieties will not produce an ear with grain, but will produce large of amounts of high-sugar-content biomass which would likely be moved into ethanol production. This is similar to the way Brazil uses sugar cane for ethanol production.
