I knew to expect a wiseass, but not this early in the thread .. LOL

Seriously though, corn derivatives are in nearly all processed foods today. A severe shortage in the normal crop output is going to impact food prices like nobody's business.

And how do you propose they plant those things if they can’t get into the wet fields to plant corn?

Most of the corn crop is used for livestock feed and biofuel.

The dims will love it if we are forced to become vegetarians with bicycles for transportation.

Must not be a farmer. Midwest farmers have no machinery or expertise for for growing these & and there is no chance you would eat a significant percentage of any grown.
