Give me steak!!
I support a candidate who has firmly and unequivocally asserted that he intends to end subsidies and mandates to support ethanol, wind and other “green” fuels.
Corn subsidies will outlive everyone on this board.
Stop legislation that burns our food supply.
Ethanol subsidies are probably here to stay. They are not going away as long as Chuck Grassley and other politicians are in the back pockets of Conagra, ADM and the other large farming corporations. Corporations that are usually described by our leaders as “Family Farmers”.
I think that this Ethanol mandate would have already died if it were not for Iowa being the first political state in every election. Keeping the corn prices high is a major desire for the entire state and Ethanol is a major factor in that equation.
Gas adulterated with corn juice is poison for any older (pre-2007) carbureted engine and it destroys them. I use only pure gas in my small engines and have not had any problem.

Big Corn vs. Big Oil comes down to who owns more Senators? :)
Most gas stations around us sell an Ethanol free version of gas for use in a wood splitter, generator or other engine that has a carburetor. Ethanol has tiny particles in it that build up and ruin small engine parts.
“”Dempsey described the Pelosi letter as “a head-scratcher.” He said, “It really stands out as one of the more bizarre moments for Pelosi.””
I don’t recall what the subject was last week but O’Reilly played a clip of her and ended shaking his head and saying, “She’s an intellectual zombie.”
It was probably about the “infiltrators” they want to bring in from the ME with her ever present arm/hand waving!!! She truly isn’t all there. You know, in spite of all that arm waving, what she says STILL DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE!
All that appears to make sense to me, that's why I don't expect government to ever squash it. Too many freeloaders making cash off of it now.
A political heavyweight but an intellectual featherweight.
But even a blind squirrel will occasionally find a nut.
“Some 40 percent of the U.S. corn crop goes into gas tanks, not stomachs. As demand for corn has risen, so have food prices. As the cost of feed has risen, so have beef prices.”
One problem with this is corn prices are in the dump. They are almost as low as they have ever been in the last ten years - and trending down.
I watch many acres of corn being combined for grain in our area when it never had before. Everyone knew what was going to happen with the corn price.
Somehow I think a more likely reason Pelosi is pro ethanol is that it is somehow putting money in her pocket.
The ethanol mandate is to buy off Iowa farmers. Try killing the ethanol mandate and you have Iowa corn farmers in full revolt mode.
You are kidding, right? Pelosi invented bizarre moments.
“As the cost of feed has risen, so have beef prices. “
Anyone with a basic knowledge of agriculture knows this isn’t the case.
Beef prices went up due to the severe drought that was in the southwest for many years. This caused ranchers to liquidate their cow herds.
Rains and pastures are back; but the build cycle takes a long time to get the herds back.
It is happening however; and cattle prices have recently dropped.
Follow the money.
