World wide shortage of grain fixed easily.......

Much is in the news about Ukraine and Russia being unable to provide grain sales to countries at risk of famine.
Simple solution
Quit converting corn to ethanol in the US for gasoline blending. In terms of corn utilization, ethanol is a huge user. In terms of gasoline supply it would be a fairly small diversion.
Corn for tacos would be easily understood by the masses of folks that vote. The famine concerned countries would be forever grateful. The corn farmers still get a market. The only folks not liking it would be the greenies that feel the worlds population need to go down

There is no grain shortage. China is buying it all and our dickhead criminal leaders are facilitating it.

check out Somalia . Thats some hunger. And the relief organizations are coming up dry.

The US Govt will never stop converting corn to ethanol, so there is no point in thinking it will happen. That money spigot will never be turned off, even if people are dying of starvation in our streets.
The US Govt is now beyond the point in time in which it can serve the best interests of We the People - IMHO we are beyond that point in US History.

I'd love to see the look on your face as you tried to eat feed corn. Not a country baw, huh?

China had BIG TIME grain crop failures over the last year due to prolonged droughts.
This is what global warming/climate change would actually appreciably look like in reality. It is my hunch why the global supply chain is failing...we're seeing the first tremors of the globe being unable to sustain its population under the production and transport modes we've developed into over the years. Not to sound too much like some spooked out conspiracy nut but I think the COVID pandemic has been a convenient cover to a larger supply chain issue we had over the horizon. COVID may have just been the needle that broke the camel's back.

the corn used for ethanol is a strain not approved for humans to eat.

Not a quick fix but they could stop growing it in favor of the human edible kind.

It goes deeper than that. It starts with the essential stuff needed for fertilizer like potash, natural gas etc even before you get to the corn commodity.

I think this every time I see the city boys railing about ethanol.

Only 1% of the corn grown can be eaten. The rest is No. 2 yellow field corn, which is indigestible to humans and used in animal feed, food supplements and ethanol

We honestly need to just cull and cut the loses in Somalia at this point. Too many people and they will never be able to support the numbers they are carrying. It’s inhumane to let them suffer needlessly.

Technically all whole corn is indigestible.

Also stop paying farmers for not planting fields.
If they have a field, it needs to be planted.
And the whole corn thing went right over a few heads.
You can plant in any other grain as opposed to corn.
If corn is t being used in gas, not as much is needed.

Do you have a reference to a subset of corn trading pricing that identifies feed corn as something different than commodity corn.
If you are talking about "on the cob" that does make a difference. But fresh corn does not have a very good shelf life for shipping to third world companies.
I do have a little bit of country. My first job was in High School scrapping sugar cane stalks for 90 cent per hour

Our elected retards figured out they could reduced MPG with corn based fuel and that they could tax it at fuel rates. Win/win for the elected class. Our government looks for new opportunities to steal from us.

I thought pretty much all corn meal, grits etc was made from field corn?

But it is a strain that could make feed cheaper and in surplus that would make meat more available

IIRC From the field to the end of supper, 30% of the agriculture produced for consumption in this country is wasted and most of us are fat.
