The kicker was at the end. A hectare (2.74 acre) of food corn yields $1492 in profit while a hectare of fuel corn, after processing yields a LOSS of $10. Assuming all 13,700,000 acres of Nebraska cropland was converted to Ethanol, that would be a deficit of $56,000,000
Yep, alternative energy wins again /s
I think the profit per hectare will go down considerably if you plant 13,700,000 acres of food corn. How much more corn are you as a consumer going to eat?
