chucker34,

It's affecting everything. The ethanol thing (along with speculation) is taking something that was formerly only for food and using it for a different purpose. It upsets the whole supply. Corn substitutes are on the rise for obvious reasons and now crops like soybeans are on the rise because guess what, a lot less acres were planted in soy this year. Basically the demand on all farm land has increased due to the intrusion of this new use.
