Corn and how it rules us Pol106

It is one of the worse case scenarios for many farmers in the Midwest. There is devastation to crops and homes alike. Many farmers do not have enough money, seeds, or equipment to last and continue farming once the waters recede. Yet, there seems to be a push to ignore the Midwest by the news media. I’m not saying it should be head-line news everyday, but a blurb here or there once a every few days would be nice. I believe the major wake-up call will come when the rest of the nation expects Midwest corn, the sweet taste of home grown gold, and they are going to get corn imported from South America and other countries who can produce this cash crop still. We are going to see a spike in prices and with the economy already doing poorly; there will be many unhappy people. Why do I bring this up, because in the Midwest corn does affect politics. Not much unless it is negatively, but it plays a role and I feel that we are going to see just how much it can do when fall rolls around. And I plan to hide in a very deep hole when the rest of the US finds out over 60% of the corn that’s grown for human consumption is not there.
