The only corn we see around here is in cans or the produce section  .

Actually, you might be surprised to see how often you consume corn even when you aren't aware of it. Start reading labels and see how many corn byproducts are being used in any number of different food items. For example, HFC (High Fructose Corn syrup) has been used since the 80's in soft drinks in place of cane sugar as a primary sweetener.
We are becoming a one crop country. Yes, I'm aware of other crops out there, but none have been as heavily subsidized by our beloved lawmakers as corn.
Yep John. I'm well aware of the use of corn products such as HFCS  .
And I read labels (A bit of a health nut, I am).
I don't drink soda pop, so that's not an issue.
And as corn is not a very nutritionally dense food, I don't eat much of it.
Of course the ripple effect will increase all crop prices, so it'll have an effect on everyone eventually.
 I wonder if it'll make barrel primer (Bourbon) prices go up too.
