The vast majority of corn is for animals. That's meat.
I don't need bread with it.

There is so much farmland in this country that is either not utilized because of government regulation OR incentive not to utilize it paid to the landowner that if that were opened up there would never be a shortage.
Of course at $5 a gallon diesel it won’t get better either.

Quit converting corn to ethanol in the US for gasoline blending.
I'd love to see the look on your face as you tried to eat feed corn. Not a country baw, huh?
I think you mean “fuel corn”. My understanding from a few years ago when the government started pushing ethanol, is that there are distinct types of corn used for food and fuel purposes, and farmers need to plan in advance which type they’re going to grow.
I’d very much like to see the US get completely away from ethanol, but that’s what the government is currently using to buy farming votes.

My grandparents used to get field corn ground for grits and cornmeal.Made the best grits and cornbread I ever ate.
Same corn they fed the cows and chickens.

Old timers still grow field corn for the table. They have to add alot of sugar but thats the best corn by far for frying in a black iron skillet. Some of you so called country baws ain't never seen a truck patch.

We could all go on the keto diet.

WOW, I wasn't aware only one thing could grow in those fields. Thanks for the information.

A lot of folks are going to go on the Stalingrad diet.

Do you have a reference to a subset of corn trading pricing that identifies feed corn as something different than commodity corn.
I work in the industry. They don't process sweet corn in ethanol plants. I wasn't trying to be mean FYI. Tried eating feed corn with my buddies camping one year and it's literally inedible.

Field Corn and FEED Corn are two different animals. I guarantee you that you never ate feed corn as your grits. That shite is nearly inedible for humans.

Well, you are a fricking retard based on most of the posts I've seen from you. You're very fricking welcome.

The US will be fine. You can grow wheat just about anywhere here, like 90% of the front lawns in the US are good enough... If it comes down to it I will till the front yard and fill it with wheat. It would take dustbowl conditions... and I think we could handle a drought like that better today because we can grow more food in less space and have more infrastructure to move water around.

Does it soften up if you boil it?
I've never tried and have no desire to.

Not really. Just kind of stays crunchy like eating crawfish heads. Ain't nothin' in the middle of feed corn to suck out.

Not only that but it’s all roundup ready corn. I’m not a hippie but when I garden I try to use the least amount of chemicals as possible, can’t be good for the gut or cancer

This is an extremely simplistic view.
