Also takes a lot of chemicals to grow , Monsatan, duplicitous DuPont and others suck the life right out of the earth...literally kill everything that moves, flies, or crawls

Most of the wet corn will be sold at a loss to feed lots...for the most part we are so full of corn we are bursting at the seams...farmers need to invest in hemp and other fast growing non lethal crops...

Also look no further for many of our diseases today...
