| "At a new plant in Iowa, MIT-rooted technology will use bacteria to turn corn into biodegradable plastics.
The new Metabolix plant, located in Clinton, Iowa, is a joint venture with Archer Daniels Midland. Metabolix is also working to engineer crops — including switchgrass — that will grow the plastic directly within the plant. "

I thought some of you might be interested in this if you weren't already aware of this new potential use for corn.
The list of products from corn keeps on growing, hopefully this increased demand will push up colrn prices. Maybe !
