I haven't researched this yet, so I may be speaking out my bum, but I had also heard that the price of corn has gone way up due to this "opportunity" being sought.
I believe in the same news report they mentioned that what once was cheap corn tortillas (in poorer countries, such as, Mexico) are no longer cheap. Farmers are charging sky high prices for corn, b/c they get the asking price for fuel. Thus, the poor are starving.
I'm going to research horse and buggies...I wonder if my HOA allows horses and hay?? Dad could build me a structure to keep the elements off...it's a thought.
Worse than the price of corn going up...because more land is going to grow corn, less land is available to grow hops, so the price of beer is going up! That's the sort of thing that can start a revolution.

Or something to that effect.
Sad, really.
People are greedy.
