Summary: Podcasting from the tractor planting corn. The CEO of Smithfield Food is worried about his mother being able to afford bacon; blaming ethanol. His article is in the May 1st Wall Street Journal. This podcast is a rebuttal to his unfounded comments. I also compare the price increases of many household items from the '70's to the price of corn. Thanks to Jim Hightower and the Hightower Report for the research stats.
