The mass production of corn without crop rotation has been disastrous from both the soil, its nutients and its inhabitants. Only the other hand if corn is used in crop rotation with other plants than it will be neither harmful or beneficial.
However, corn plant residue (the part left behind after the farmer harvests) can improve both fertility and soil tilth (the structure of the soil) by adding organic matter back to the soil. Combined with good rotation practices, most farmers find corn to be a very beneficial crop.
