Ethanol..........First rule of civilization: DON'T BURN YOUR FOOD.... Amen, bro.
That's why I'm already boycotting the 2011 NASCAR season.
I'll be damned if I'm going to sit there and watch cars fueled by corn for three hours and then be told countless times how wonderful it is while people are starving around the world.
That's right! I'm blaming NASCAR for world starvation! HA!

It’s called supply and demand although it’s the Feds who are cutting the supply. With preppers stocking up on grains, the government found a way to mess over the taxpayer.

My opinion of the CBOT is that you have a better chance of winning in Las Vegas than at the CBOT.The CBOT is magic. They make the long and short side of the same contract lose money /sarc

"Pellet stoves got their start by burning....corn."We burn corn in our fireplace ... burns very hot. Corn stoves are becoming very popular according to the man at a local dealer.
