China only exports 50 metric tons of corn a year. The United States will export 31751 metric tons of corn in 2013. The United States is the largest eporter of corn.We don't need China corn.There is a lot of different types of grain in storage for export. The problem is they store tons of this stuff to get the best price. The more they have in storage the harder it is for the farmers to sell. @Frank The corn in New Orleans is for export to China and other countries. China only exports 50 metric tons of corn a year.

What is wrong with that picture? China minimum wage is what .50 a day?

I have never gotten a dime from the government and have worked 47 years and payed taxes for all these years. Iam sure the farmers don't mind paying it back it's cheaper than going to the bank. The government didn't have to declare the counties a natural disister area. @mick
