i know huge tracts of California farmland are out of production because of the court decision to reduce available water for irrigation to protect that fish. I also know that corn is being produced for ethanol and if corn production declines as the article speculates and the federal mandate rises to a 15% blend as the ethanol producers want then shortages are a certainty.

It is amazing to see the amount of Iowa farm land taken out of production.
