Corn has doubled in price in the past year. From the reports I have read, it is largely due to Ethanol production. Either way, consumers pay the price.

I'd rather pay a higher market price dictated by demand than pay a lower price that's being artificially kept low with tax dollars.

I trust the free market to determine prices much more than I trust the government doing so.

Look at some other grains, it is not just corn. It must be more than ethanol.
