The US has a soy glut and a corn glut, and Germany has a potato glut. What to do with all those carbs? Feed cattle?

Cattle, ethanol, vodka. Not sure what else with these numbers.

    The US corn industry is lobbying for more ethanol in gasoline. Nobody else can absorb all those carbs near term.

      5% of all land in America is used to grow corn because taxpayer money in the form of government subsidies makes it a cash crop. Socialism wealth transfer just for farming.
