The thing I find most surprising about this article is that anyone grows corn in the Netherlands. Weird.
I know! Dutch corn?!
That dude thought coke was expensive; wait 'til he has to pay for dutch corn!
Yeah. I bet it's got a really cute and functional design that, incidentally, raises the price to an absurd height, that Dutch corn.
They probably invented corn, the bastards. Then someone made a cheaper, but admittedly less functional version, and they lost the market. Typical Dutch business plan.

Actually, the idea brings to mind more something like the Dutch tulip mania. I can see them developing a super-corn that yields some super ethanol, raising the price of all corn strains to an absurd price, and creating a disastrously unstable market.

Or maybe just a disastrously unstable field? I mean, does that field look safe to you?
(Also, I think they might have meant "wheat". I could be wrong.)
