Aren’t these “poor” farmers making a killing over the price of corn and the ridiculous mania over Ethanol? Why should we feel sorry for them?

No. The price of seed, fuel, fertilizer, storage and transport are also way up. The farmer is the last person that is 'making a killing', as is almost always the case.

All these subsidies and trade restrictions aren't helping the farmers? Then the farmers wouldn't mind if we ended these welfare programs.
