Yes, and there will be big surpluses of corn again, for about the 50th year in a row.

Just how much corn has been planted this year, with all the wet weather? Any reports out there?

Not this year. At least not in Iowa where they only have 11% of their crops planted due to heavy rains & flooding. Normally by this time of year they are 90% planted.

The smart farmers that sat on their corn last year will clean up in 2011.

Either way you can eat it or drink it.
