Something about the nutrition profile, and the stage at which the kernels were affected prevented certain toxins from being expended as part of the normal growth cycle. (both GMO and non-GMO varieties) Similar to the effect that certain varieties of potatoes can not be consumed until none of the inner skin is green, but after that stage, both potato and skins are fine to eat. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 9277476 United States08/22/2012 06:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | AFP - US corn and soybean prices closed at new record highs Tuesday as a new survey showed worse-than-expected crop damage from a brutal drought across the country's central breadbasket. Quoting: THE INQUISADOR The price of corn jumped 1.7 percent to $8.3875 a bushel, while soybeans finished at $17.3025 a bushel, up 2.8 percent from Tuesday. That left the corn price up 68 percent from June and soybeans 39 percent higher. An all-time record hot July accompanied by nearly three months of extreme drought have baked the country's prime farmland in the midwestern and central states, where the world's largest corn and soybean crops are grown. Prices jumped after reports from the annual Pro Farmer Midwest Tour gave analysts and traders more bad news on the state of the crops. "Crops in western Ohio and eastern Indiana were far below the norm," said Pro Farmer analyst Brian Grete. Yields in South Dakota meanwhile were called "stunningly low." [link to www.france24.com] Thread: IS THERE A CORN SHORTAGE BECAUSE WE SOLD IT ALL TO MEXICO?! US sells country historic amount THE NEWS The United States announced yesterday that it will sell 1.516 million tons of corn to Mexico, the fourth largest sale of corn to a foreign country U.S. history. Corn producers and exporters told the U.S. Department of Agriculture, or USDA, that they will sell Mexico 982,980 tons of corn during the 2012-2013 marketing year and 533, 400 tons during the 2013-2014 marketing year.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1445528 United States08/22/2012 06:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Interesting. Today, I was talking to our neighbors who have a vacation home here. They live in Ohio, and come to Northern New Mexico several times during the year. They were mentioning that they could not believe their eyes as they drove here last week. They said they saw one bare field after the other, from Ohio and through Colorado. This "famine" is going to push prices sky-high at a time when budgets are already strained. |
