 Imagine if corn subsidies are removed. 

What may follow? 

-eliminate damage to and prolong life of internal combustion engines
-no more subsidized industrial corn sludge in foods reduces diabetes
-farmers not forced into industrial monoculture which expends the environment
-potential for small family regenerative farms to compete with corporate mega farm corps
-reduce synthetic fertilizer outflow to waterbodies
