There are several types of corr. We eat sweet corn which is only grown for human consumption. Field corn on the other hand is a general name for corn that livestock have been eating. As you know field corn pollen can be transported to a field containing sweet corn . You will think you are eating a 2/4. The cost of one gal of ethanol is one gal of gas. When you add the price of the land transferred to field corn, sweet corn goes up. The heat damaged field corn is worthless so we have a shortage of field corn. we are getting it from all sides.
