I've said this 1000 times and I'll say it 1000 more Corn production is ESSENTIAL to National Security and the soverignty of this nation. Without a robust corn crop, people will famine. It MUST be subsidized Why? the three F's Fuel Feed Food Fuel. Ethanol. The good stuff that makes Supra's go fast. Yeah, we subsidize it's production through the RFS and RIN's(subtweet), but it's truly a renewable resource. It has a relatively low carbon intensity, provides wonderful and stable jobs Feed: Cattle, pigs, chickens, goats, horses, ducks all eat corn. Equally importantly, DDG's is a staple ingredient in many feed rations. That is the non fuel byproduct of producing corn ethanol, for anyone reading that doesn't know. It's a high protein medium fat product that is used to fill out animal feed rations Food-it's small, but we do consume something like 5% of the corn produced as actual food(fact check my percentage if you want) Could we stop subsidizing corn and maybe be okay? Sure. We will also collapse the farm economy and a massive percentage of rural communities that exclusivly rely on agriculture jobs and revenue as their lifeblood. Is that a chance I'm willing to take? Hard no "michael shouldn't we subsidize and prioritize american produce instead of letting cheap Mexican and South American produce come in??" Yes, but not at the expense of corn. Let's divert some of that Israel/Ukraine money to lettuce and cucumbers in Florida https://t.co/QpptPgyEtI https://t.co/Z9r0YUXssb.
