Not so fast - the US heavily subsidizes corn farming. It's overproduced, and one of the uses for all of that corn is corn syrup. Government created this problem, it gave corn farmers a financial incentive to produce corn syrup and getting them off the government teat won't be that easy.

Theres more to it than that.

This has a lot to do with the bullshit belief of economy of size and government support of integrated chain farming that turned farmers into slaves of the banks and processors like Tyson.

Once Tyson/JBS/etc get fed the legal dynamite they deserve family farms can return and those folks in Iowa can go back to being pig farmers with some say in their own futures.
