For decades, wheat was king on the Great Plains and prices were low. Those days are now over. Farmers are abandoning wheat for soybeans or crops intended for biofuels. They go for the best return on investment. A farmer can't feed his family with tradition. Congress has distorted the market with subsidies for biofuels including ethanol. We can't afford to let politics determine which crop is going to return the most money. People are beginning to go hungry.
