The quantity supplied of corn is the number of bushels that corn farmers want to sell under the current market conditions, while the supply of corn is a set of price-quantity pairs showing the amounts that farmers wish to sell at various hypothetical prices. According to the law of supply, a rise in the price of corn will cause a rise in the quantity supplied of corn. Non-price factors that positively affect corn growers (such as improved weather conditions, better agricultural technology, and lower costs of fertilizer, seed, labor, and other inputs) would cause a rise in the supply of corn. A rise in quantity supplied is shown by moving up and to the right along the supply curve, and a rise in supply is shown by shifting the supply curve down and to the right.
