Maybe someone can answer this question or statement, I read that bio-corn for fuel is different than food corn

I think this is not that important. Even if they are different, they compete for the same arable land and for the same water and for the same labor to grow.

In other words, if the farmer grows "fuel corn" instead of the "food corn" you will still be without food corn, one way or another.

EXACTLY! In Brazil, they use sugar cane. Sugar cane doesn't require the extra steps that corn does (using enzymes to break down the starch before it can be fermented). Here is an interesting artice about Tropical Maize.

From what I under stand is that both human corn and fuel corn has be going up in production over the last 5 years I believe that they both have keep pace with demand and the it is just a cop out. We have more land that is not being used in the USA that could be used. It’as the old deal of wheat for example. When the farmers are getting 1.65 a bushel and there is 50 loaves of bread in a bushel who is making all the money?
