On corn alone, Benson faces having to buy up to $672 million worth of this year's corn, on top of an estimated $1.8 billion worth of previous years' corn.* Meanwhile, storage, transportation and interest on earlier corn surpluses are costing $1,000,000 a day, more than twice the cost of maintaining the U.S. courts and Congress. Total added outlay for this year's corn charged...
