American prairie. What's the issue?

#2 Yellow corn isn’t exactly the most efficient crop to plant for food production. Get rid of biofuels for starters.

If calories for human consumption is the priority of farm production then status quo is seriously out of line with that priority.

High fructose corn syrup, too.

Nectar of life… ‘Merica

We could annex Cuba and go back to raw sugar production in the interest of National Security from a health perspective.

Hope nobody from the Trump admin reads Hunttalk. I don’t want to see this idea in next month’s news headlines after the alien/UFO files and Iran military strikes run their cycle.

I do not think that will pencil.

Subsidize it like we do with every other crop...it's not like we aren't already doing it.

And then we'll have a whole new campaign to "Save the Farmer" as the Ethanol, Monsanto, and Bayer lobby paint the picture of evil organic farmers threatening the "traditional" methods of that have served our nation for "over 50 years"

No, Not unless the price for grass feed beef increased even more than the already inflated value.

A neighbor of mine raises grass feed Wagyu cattle. He gets a premium price, he has to. In order to get a quality carcass he has to keep his steers a minimum of three years. A beef finished on grain is often slaughtered at a bit more than a year of age. That extra time is going to add up to a lot of feed cost. My neighbor gets by because he gets a premium price for grass feed beef, but it is a niche market and that market is close to saturated.
