The demand for corn is made up of three broad groups:
From food processors for use in making foods such as breakfast
cereals
From processors who turn corn into a vital ingredient for
making biofuels. Biofuels can be mixed in with petroleum products

From cattle farms who use corn as a way to feed their

In addition, assume:
NO ONE EATS CORN. It is an input into the three product groups
