The main problem I feel we are already experiencing is a decrease in extra-curricular participation. I think too many students feel they have no chance of making the team, getting a part, singing, or playing very often. I'm not just referring to sports here. If we had added a school instead of simply creating more room, we would have essentially doubled the opportunities for our children. The same report lowered U.S. corn exports by 50 million bushels.
China is second only to the United States in total corn output.
In other words, they are a major competitor. There's a reason that the proposed tariff reductions on seed corn imports to China are substantially greater than imports of bulk corn. Like importing Brazilian soybeans, Canadian wheat and threats to import European barley into U.S. ports, you can count on big multinational grain companies to manipulate grain markets by threatening to import corn from China. That's their strategy, anything to keep grain prices down. They talk exports and trade, when the evidence is clearly against that policy working for farmers.
