In a bid to bring down milk prices, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced legislation yesterday that would temporarily repeal a tariff on foreign ethanol, freeing up more supplies of corn for dairy farmers.
Shows how much Schumer knows about farming. Most SANE dairy farmers grow their own corn/ feed crops, so commodity prices don't effect them. Input costs do.
Schumer is also pretty stupid thinking Ethanol production even interrupts commercial feed production. Only the starch is processed from the corn and used for ethanol, the corn and tailings from ethanol yeast etc. continues on to be used for feed production.
Typical knee jerk liberal reaction.
