And. So what? How much corn and rice do we need to grow to meet rising demand and is there any reason whatsofuckingever we can’t start growing more crops to meet the demand or are all our farmers so used to being paid not to grow crops that they too are running around crying about the price of rice?
Maybe we do need to give the Mexicans amnesty along with 40 acres and a mule so someone will grow some crops. I think I might learn how to grow some corn.
Pfft. Until I see a bunch of farmers scrambling around trying to put more crops in the ground, I don’t believe there is a shortage. What we have is a run on the market that seems deliberate in the making.

I must confess, I threw away a half a can of Libbey’s whole kernal corn the other day. Right down the disposal.
