Corn is extremely water intensive to grow, here in the south. With our heat, it's a crap shoot at best without irrigation. The Corn Lobby is one of the strongest in DC so don't expect it to go away overnight or easily. While I agree that it's junk, my dad and uncles also agree but the checks have been berry berry good the past 10-15 years. Now, if they ever punch some holes in the ground they just might change their tune about ethanol.
