Had a thought about this corn and ethanol business. Bit of a stretch but not implausible. Typically America throws out half of its food, including grown crops, due to waste, right?

What if this is a way to salvage that waste? Excess of corn being grown instead being converted to ethanol fuels that we could potentially offload upon other countries as well as domestically for a tidy sum. Kind of like our deal with soybeans being sold to the European union (possibly for its industrial applications and not so much its consumption?)

This also opens up a new possibility: nullifying the potential GMO threat. We know our corn (and I believe soybeans as well) are tainted by Monsanto, so what if this is an attempt to effectively make this their FINAL crop on US soil ever again? My guess is into the wintertime, when farmers are otherwise dormant/in preparation for the next year, Trump finally makes his move upon Monsanto and gets them to back off with the GMOs, so we can hopefully go back to untainted seed. Only caveat with that would be if burning GMO biofuels has any potential risk of airborne contaminants or would the conversion process just render them inert. What do you all think?
