      Yeah around here in the Midwest most of them aren’t even growing food. 40% of the corn grown goes to fuel additives, with most of the remainder going to feed lots, and most of what’s left over from the mat going into corn syrup. They soybeans are almost all going to cattle feed with a fair bit being used for industrial purposes. And what do you know, those while business models are completely reliant on federal subsidies to work.
