Farmers are rapidly jumping on the bandwagon to chase after ethanol sales.  The increase in the price of oil is made it much more sustainable to grow corn and sell it for ethanol production.  This has driven up the volume of corn significantly enabling farmers to make more selling corn and they have other crops in the past.
