The Mexican farmers may be very inefficient, and that might be a bigger part of the problem, but it doesn't mean American subsidies aren't part of the problem. They are a bigger problem for the US than they are for Mexico, but its not exactly like they help Mexico either. Tim, Mexico has enough arable land to grow its own corn but because of poor production methods, it is not self sufficient. In addition, American subsidies to farmers are to get them NOT to grow corn.........that means less corn and higher corn prices which should benefit Mexican farm growners, not hurt them, as you contend. Mexico's problems are its own......stop trying to blame American farmers.
