Corn inflation has translated to higher meat prices. Meanwhile, China and India are eating more meat, and a drought in Australia has limited grain and dairy exports to Europe and Asia, cutting the global supply and prompting more countries to turn to the U.S. for food, said Joe Outlaw, an agricultural-economics professor at Texas A&M University.
If it's leaving the U.S, put a decent export tax on grain and let farmers start their own "Grain OPEC".....there will be no more need for Willie's Farm Aid.
