Be fair here, by subsidizes you mean they pay farmers not to grow corn.

Start increasing the demand and decrease those payments and the net result
will be same amount of corn available for food and additional amounts
available for alcohol production.

Of course we'll be creating more greenhouse gas than we save but our
leaders won't let that get in their way.
