Are you retarded? You are obviously ignorant, from the simple fact you call it ‘feed corn’. That’s the mentality that got us where we are. Corn has protein, oil, neutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and the sugars can be fermented into anything you wish, including exotic and high-value chemical. The tech is there and coming on line but everybody is still back channeling Eisenhower and Sputnik and doesn’t want to think about the possibilities and take the risk.

Look, give me a report on “Fungible Commodities” and how you trade them in a world market.

Otherwise, stop personally attacking me before I report you to the moderator.

Either Corn, whether it’s feed corn or sweet corn, is a tradable commodity worldwide, or it’s a overgrown federally subsidized welfare crop. A corn farmer may as well sell his farm and go on foodstamps because the difference is semantics.

If there is a market for your corn derivatives, sell them. If there is no market without federal subsidies, go on food stamps. There is no difference.

In fact, I propose every dime of corn subsidy go to Solyndra to subsidize solar panels that nobody wants to buy. (OK, not really) There is no difference pissing away money on worthless money losing companies like Solyndra, than pissing away money subsidizing stupid nonviable corn BS.

I’m sick of the “I’m a conservative except for when it’s my federal subsidy being threatened” types. There is no more money!
