This author obviously has not sat in a window seat when traversing flyover country, else he couldn't spout this crap with a straight face. Look down idiot! There isn't any corn growing on the Rocky Mountains or in the Southwest desert. Utah's kind of barren too.
Hey! don't be putting facts out, when BS is the meat of the day!
Maybe the author could make an argument for 1/3 of arable farmland going to livestock. But I think that would be a stretch, as well.
