> US corn ethanol subsidies are between $5.5 billion and $7.3 billion per year.
Doesn't that mean most non-ethanol uses of corn aren't really subsidized too much?
It does also list: "Feed grains, mostly corn 2,841" (million)
Am I right that that is just $9 subsidy per citizen, and lots of it is going to feed farm animals?
The numbers are all from different years so there could have been some major changes.
