Iowa is one of the largest corn producing states, and also the first to hold primary elections (technically it's a caucus, but still it's considered an important milestone). If you want to be president, you'd be foolish to be on the record going against corn subsides.

  Today Presidents don't make the law. Potential candidates (and their parties) do. There's a great episode of The West Wing about the Iowa caucuses and the ethanol mandate.
