Everyone is going to feel the impact as more corn is grown BUT headed away from our normal markets, and increases across the board in the supermarket will be felt.
So there you go. Another FREEBIE.

Hi Gordon,
I'd love to read your article/report!
I did a bit of reading about this... It looks like the price of corn is going up, way up! As you point out - the reason why is due to the high price of gas, which leads to pressure to produce ethanol as an alternative fuel... (And the corn-growers love it, because they'll make a mint if the ethanol is made from corn. So undoubtedly they're lobbying the government to force as many people to buy their stuff through changes in legislation...)
Of course, rising demand for corn means higher prices. That also means - more expensive Mexican (or "Tex-Mex") food! Since a lot of Mexican/Tex-Mex food uses corn (corn chips, tortillas, tacos, and so on)...
(Yummm... Just writing about Mexican/Tex-Mex food, and thinking about delicious tacos and burritos, makes my mouth water... Basically, I love almost anything with jalapenos!)
I don't know the 21 ways - but I'd love to read more about it!
Cheers,
Dien
