I learned from a farmer last year that the farmers were the ones playing the market for corn....playing both ends.

One of the farmers I met said he bought up everything he could in "his" area....and went to strictly corn to feed the nearby ethanol plant.

In the past, he had grown all different crops...beans, potatoes, etc etc...

And the teeth-gritting irony in it all is that ethonal doesn’t do squat for gas mileage. It’s just another way for Uncle Big Government to stick it’s nose into our lives at the behest of enviroNazis. So help me God I’m losing patience with this sh!t. Feel like I want to kill somebody sometimes.

That's capitalism for you. I don't blame them making a buck. I just resent them manipulating the market. It's not likely myself and most other consumers are going to swear off eating beef. Maybe we just won't eat so much of it. Not eating so much of it will eventually affect the ranchers profits, right?
