- So corn is a hugely important crop. Why didn’t I know this until now?
- So how is this supposed to make food so expensive?
- But what about ethanol? Isn’t it inefficient and bad for the environment?
- Can corn farmers manage to keep setting records for production?
- How does growing all this corn affect the environment?
- What’s ahead for corn prices?
