    After I read this thread, I came to 3 conclusions:

    I knew nothing about farming
    I learned nothing about farming in this thread
    And nobody else in this thread knows anything about farming

    Per Google,


    Major Global Trading & Distribution Giants
    • Cargill: The largest privately held corporation in the US, specializing in grain trading, food production, and agricultural supply chains.
    • Archer Daniels Midland (ADM): A major global food processing and commodity trading corporation.
    • Bunge Global SA: A global leader in agribusiness, food ingredients, and fertilizer operations.
    • Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC): A prominent global merchant and processor of agricultural goods.
    • COFCO (China National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Corporation): One of China's largest state-owned agricultural processors, merchants, and traders.
    Not arguing. I remember Archer Daniels Midland commercials during Meet The. press

    I dealt with Cargill with a job. My nephew went to University of Illinois, we were talking about all the corn crops. I was telling him I was working in upper Midwest a few years ago, driving around Iowa I was like it's really like this.

    I told him about how the Corn Lobby was a big issue in the eighties and how growing up I was like we (Americans) don't eat that much corn how does corn have so much influence in politics

    I didn't understand all the corn products. I commented that the obesity problem is Native American revenge
