It's the old basic beans v s bullets economics 101 lesson back again. Limited resources dictate limitations in changes in the economy and some part will suffer if the situation is not balanced. It already hit Mexico not it's our turn. Milk won't be the only thing affected by the increased cost of corn.

No, I said they SHOULD be using switchgrass instead of corn. It gives over 1000 gallons of ethanol per acre. Corn gives 328 gpa. Cattle do not eat switchgrass for feed. Humans do not eat switchgrass. Archer-Daniels-Midland does not control the switchgrass market. Switchgrass has no lobbyists in Washington.
You do the math.

It's more like...
4(corn) + 1(ADM) = $$$

1(ADM) + 3(politicians)= $$$ campaign donations

2(switchgrass) + 1 (ADM)= $0

2(switchgrass) + 3(politicians)= $0 campaign donations

That's because politicians are involved.

I read somewhere that milk prices were regulated. They deregulated and the price is now as it should be.
