Word I've heard is that a good number of those end up in swelling Mexico City slums or banging on our borders. So ADM increases their market share by an amount that couldn't have been crucial to their survival and we end up with more illegal migrants.

Don't know how much solid evidence of this is to be had but from what I've heard there's plenty of anecdotal evidence on it.
Same thing happened to the buggy whip industry when those industrial meanies started producing cars.

Why oh why can't we just always stay as we were?
