Two college buddies farm an acre of corn in Iowa in order to examine U.S. Agribusiness and its unpleasant societal consequences ranging from dying family farms to the obesity epidemic. Works pretty well to frame subsidized corn as the massive force in food it has become (bigger than you may think, and probably by a lot) but the "buddies" and their growing conceit weren't particularly illuminating. Easy on those burgers, people.
