On second thought, a surplus? What are you talking about?

You can sell your "surplus" corn at $7 a bushel. If you can't make money at that price, you should grow something else. If you grew so much that you have a "surplus" (although I can't really imagine what you are talking about), whose fault is that?

I don’t feel like going through the thing tonight, maybe someone else can pick it up.

However, real quick, the huge surplus of 2009 corn nearly destroyed the hog industry in 2010. We, as a country, were within 60 to 90 days of the entire industry (all indiviual producers) going bankrupt. Direct result of too much corn.

We’ve had enormous surplus of corn since 1950. 2011 is no exception.

See tagline.
