    Obama is from Illinois, which is supposedly second in corn production. He is overly responsive to the corn lobby from his state. I heard him talk recently acknowledging the difficulties with corn ethanol and food production which has become more appparent.

    Giving companies subsidies to turn food into energy = dumb.

    all you have to do is go to his site

    Barack Obama's Plan
    Ensure Economic Opportunity For Family Farmers
    Strong Safety Net for Family Farmers: Obama will fight for farm programs that provide family farmers with stability and predictability. Obama will implement a $250,000 payment limitation so that we help family farmers — not large corporate agribusiness. Obama will close the loopholes that allow mega farms to get around the limits by subdividing their operations into multiple paper corporations.
