My wifes family lives in Mexico and they are having a serious tortilla price spike and shortfall. Corn is very important to making tortillas. For the first time in a very long time, Mexico will be importing corn duty free from anyone who has it. I on the other hand burn corn to heat our house. Most people are shocked to hear of burning corn. It works great. This last year, I burned about 3 tons of corn, half of what I burned the year before. In the past, I would let the corn burn 24x7. This year I let the corn burn only from the time we would get home from work until we left to go to work. I am happy to see the prices of corn on the rise. The farmer has had the subsidies to keep from growing corn for quite some time and corn has hovered in the 2 dollar a bushel range for far too long. I have never seen any meat or pultry company pass along savings based on corn prices that have held steady for the past 30 years. Next year, I may pay $5.00 per bushel, if natural gas costs mor per BTU than corn. Whatever is the cheapest is the route I'll follow.
