The USDA has announced the deactivation of the nation's corn supply during the government shutdown, citing frozen federal funds that prevent keeping the essential grain operational. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins blames the Democrat Party for the shutdown and states they have no choice but to temporarily disable every kernel of corn.
