To find out how much corn Steve's farm produced this year, we need to add the increase of 4,000 pounds to the amount produced last year, which was 20,000 pounds. Therefore, the total corn produced this year is: 
20,000 + 4,000 = 24,000 pounds. 
So, the best choice is C. To calculate this year's corn production on Steve's farm, we add 4,000 pounds to last year's production of 20,000 pounds: 20,000 + 4,000 = 24,000. Therefore, Steve's farm produced 24,000 pounds of corn this year. The answer is C.
