Corn and Wheat exports was up last year to record levels.

At a level insufficient to meet rising demand.

Yet the more we export the more there is a worldwide food shortage caused by the USA using ethanol.

Ethanol mandates and ethanol subsidies induce wheat farmers to switch to corn and attract corn from food use to fuel use.
