I've lived nearly sixty years and I know of few things that have gotten cheaper. Not only is corn higher but it takes a lot of water, something we don't have a lot of out here in west Texas. If corn is high now, wait until the ethanol plants start competing with Del Monte for it.

A farmer told me yesterday his irrigation operation was costing $16,000 per day this summer in electricity. Ethanol is only an alternative but I doubt it will lower energy costs. However, it will bring some of those costs back home.
