Actually we are straining the corn crop and you are wrong if you think it is not effecting prices. Corn is used in multiple products such as corn syrup which is used in almost everything as a sweetner, it is in our cereals and a million other items. Last time I looked there were over 45 countries with riots due to the high cost of corn products in their countries.
