 Recently, a discussion on RFD TV included several agriculture
representatives.  It seems that with 40% of the corn production going for
government subsidized fuel-ethanol for vehicles, the price of corn for food
is rapidly  increasing.  And farmers are abandoning sunflowers for more
profitable corn.  So the supply of sunflowers goes down, and well, you know
the rest!I don't know who wins, but in this case, the birds loose!
