As I stated before we have more land that is not being used for production. In the past 5 years food corn has gone from 88 billion bushels to over 100 billion bushels and ethanol has gone from 6 billion to around 11 billion bushels. We have enough it is just a scam. Similar when a barrel of oil goes up $2 they raise the price of gas a dime when it goes down $2 they lower the price of gas a nickle.

Bread, when wheat was less than 2 dollars a bushel a loaf was 50 cents. Wheat is less than 4 dollars a bushel and a loaf is 2.50. You do the math.

BS. We may have more land but someone has to own it and farm it in order for it to produce corn. We are not a totally socialized nation yet, so the government isn't going to go out and confiscate land and start producing corn for fuel.

The raising of corn for fuel is hurting food prices here and across the world. It is manufactured except in the sense the government has overstepped its powers, as it has in many cases over the last 60 years. We need to put energy production, and all business, back into the hands of the people where it belongs. The frickin' government needs to get out of our private lives and stick to the things the constitution limits them to. Please don't bother sending any more crap about corn, excess etc, etc.
