Yep this...the drought this year is going to own corn prices coming forth, it has already. I drove through nebraska yesterday and corn fields were super dry and they were just short little guys. I guess Indiana area is getting it the worst.

Now that corn is free market, I don't see many people using it compared to before as now its just us (the car enthusiasts) and the people that use it to be "green"...which is mainly government vehicles.
