Thus it becomes more expensive to feed those anilmals and that cost is passed on to the consumer. Also farmers that used to grow other crops now are gowing corn to make a quick buck. Except this corn is not meant for food but ethonol so that does nothing to relieve the corn shortage for food. In addition because less amounts of other crop are being grown those crops go up in price because of lower supply.

Now see how easy things are when you use your brain and logic and reasoning? You can not dispute what I just posted.



Well I expect democrats to support farm welfare like they support welfare for everyone. That's their nature. I expect someone form the party of supposedly LESS government and no welfare to behave differently.
