The farm lobby is partially to blame as well. Corn and soybeansare heavily subsidized. They also put ethanol in our fuel, which is worse for the environment.

And the farm lobby has so much power because the US system of government decides representation based on land rather than population. Also the first presidential contest is in Iowa which is crammed full of corn and soybeans
