To: Fee
This coming year the planting of corn has increased ten folds

TEN TIMES the present acreage?

From an estimated 92.9 million acres in 2007 to 929 million acres in 2008?

That's good news for consumers - corn will sell for about 20 cents a bushel.

To: Iron Munro; Fee

Fee was way off on his acreage prediction, but right about the larger crop. Last years corn crop was the largest in the history of human existence in North America.

So large in fact that we have a larger surplus of corn now than we’ve ever had.

What should we do with all the surplus corn?
