My point is though, that we have to look at what is giving farmers incentive to plant all this corn in the first place. And that my friends is due to government manufactured demand of ethanol. We should also look at why farmers down here are moving more and more to sugar cane. I don't know enough about the solution to that to comment intelligently. I can only guess its because there is less money in rice. maybe DU and Delta could help subsidize Louisiana rice farmers more.

The don't subsidize per say rice. But they do help rice farmers through a program they have called the rice stewardship program. This is the program that helped Aubrey install the pipelines on his farm.
