Are US Farmer's really worried about competition? What about far supports? This is an intersting look at global markets. So what if Brazil controls the world sugar price? Don't we control the world soybean price? Does that make it terrible for a place like Japan that imports both? The more competition the better. US farming industry does not have much to fear other than uncertainty. What's worse is that we have a tariff on ethanol. If it were cheaper, would we be less dependent on Arab oil?
