I think what many of us are failing to realize and I admit I was the same way at first. If there is a problem with the corn crops due to the drought, this will effect other markets. Corn isn't just something you can buy or something used in corn syrup. Its also used to feed much livestock, including chickens and cattle. So without corn to do this ranchers are finding that they may have to use alternatives which might not be recommended or lead to their livestock not getting the price they want, which means that to the consumer this could have meat prices including poultry going up as a result. Corn is also used in certain powders and make ups. I guess we don't really stop to think about the uses of corn, I know I didn't that is till now.
