Winter corn and other trades

With Midwest corn and soy crop ruined by the drought, this will be an excellent year for the tropical and subtropical farmers in the US to grow winter corn for Ethanol and finishing live stock. Florida and Puerto Rico can't make up for the crop failure in the Midwest but depending on the availability of seed the farmers could make an excellent profit. The issue is that the acreage that will be used for corn will not be available for whatever crop would normally be planted there, so while we might have corn for Ethanol we might not have lettuce or tomatoes this winter.
