31. Bigger problems for corn that corn syrup..tariffs and ethanol
Wed Jan 29, 2025, 09:16 AM
Jan 2025

In Iowa, close to 90 percent of the corn grown becomes fuel ethanol or food grain for Mexico.

Tariffs will make the Mexican farmers seek cheaper alternatives in South America.

The attacks on ethanol as fuel will kill demand on that too.

Not a lot of sympathy for people who voted for face eating leopards.

Better not be a bailout. These mooches better go work 2 or 3 jobs and pull their kids out of school to work. ....sarcasm on my part, likely plan for P2025
