We have been importing ethanol longer the G.W. Bush has been president.

I wonder how many acres of US corn AF1 flew over on the way to Brazil?
Corn does not become ethanol without a processing plant. Current plants are running at maximum capacity and many new ones are being built. This still does not reach the demand for ethanol with the current government mandates.
I hope we can import the ethanol, as long as there absolutely HAS to be an ethanol scam imposed on America. Our home-grown corn should be used for feeding people.
