Certainly not by the U.S. Department of Agriculture whose planning and continual changing of the Feed Grain Program has brought the price of corn down again this year. You blame rising food prices on Government subsidies-how about the fact that the U.S. housewife today wants her food completely prepared for her before she buys it, does not this add considerably to the cost of food in the supermarket?
