There is suddenly no market for the corn that the US grows to feed to cattle or produce ethanol.

Growing food plants to make fuel is a tremendous waste and is done only because of foolish government subsidies. We needs to eliminate those subsidies, as I've said for many years.

We should go back to the systems we used for decades after the New Deal, which were designed to keep small farms going

Meanwhile, Americans need to eat less meat, for their own health and the Earth's health.

There is less demand for the cattle, too — partly because meat plants are closing because many of their staff are sick.

If the mountain of corn cannot be used, that waste will be small compared to the waste of growing too much corn each year.
