shittygsxr Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I have driven through Illinois, Iowa, nebraska and it is hard to imagine that there would be a corn shortage. There are literally hundreds of miles of nothing but corn, and doesnt out government give subsidies to farmers to artificially keep the corn price high enough for them to stay in business?

Dweezel Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 not to mention like some 75% of US corn is exported, on top of the govt paying farmers not to grow crops. I think we'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyen Soljax Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 boo hoo. theres too many people as it is. plus corn ethanol is essentially trading coal for gas at a very inefficient rate. its all temporary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homewrecker Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Here is the best solution. We quit sending corn to mexico. They will then have a shortage of corn for their tortillas. When they start crying we tell them a bushel of corn for a barrel of oil. After all mexico has one of the largest oil surplus in the western hemisphere. And without tortillas they cant eat. I have never seen any mexican food that doesn't involve meat, cheese, and vegetables on a tortilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
