Well, we have cornfields larger than your entire country, wherever the fuck that is.

>>967625

We burn it in the fields to keep prices high too.

One day, you too will know the horrible benefits of capitalism... Or you'll stop fucking with the free market and we'll feed the world

Shouldn't you be on Imgur?

What? I think you're making stuff up. Yes you could burn fields of corn to hike up the price but then why sell corn to people just to burn as fuel?

The only reason they can sell corn as fuel is because it is cheap and plentiful.

hey guys, I found our national debt.

Right. Unless the Ag industry is paying a bunch of lobbyists to have congress put minimum ethanol requirements in fuel just so they can sell more corn.

Big corn and other monocrop farming is huge. Entire states are covered with corn, soybeans, wheat, etc. They pay good money to make sure their product is used in as many things as possible even if its not the best way to get the job done.

We produce so much fucking corn.

We sell corn to countries for much less than production cost, quickly driving local farmers out of buisness and affecting the value of other food as we flood the market.
Then we quadruple the cost overnight and watch as people sell jewelry to buy our corn or they starve.

God Bless America and God bless corn.

Yes, correct. They sell their corn they don't burn it in the field to artificially inflate the price.
If big corn wanted to inflate the price they would just plant less corn.
