>>>This is almost as bad as the whole "grow grain for ethanol" fiasco.

Are you in the "once corn is used for ethanol there's noting left" crowd? If so, you're woefully ignorant.

Australia suffered a horrible wheat season this year, from an expected 19M to an actual 11m ton year because of drought. The 11m covers domestic consumption and leaves less than 2M for export. So from ~10M to ~2M for export, the wheat industry is getting crushed in AU.

"Grain for ethanol" is a fiasco in Australia's food security view.
