How much land is being cultivated for corn because of the ethanol mandates? I remember the good old days when Jimmy Carter was selling wheat to the Russians because they couldn’t feed themselves. Now the situation is reversed?

Roughly 40% of the US corn crop goes to ethanol. If we eliminated the ethanol requirement, we would have no grain shortage.
