STOP THE MADNESS!

Poor African women and children hurt worst.

No Food For Fuel!!

[IncPen]

I’m all for ecology and all that, but when they start messing with the beer supply....

[Jeff Chandler]

Haven’t I been warning everyone about this?!!!

[P-40]

Maybe using alcohol to fuel cars will raise drink prices enough so the drunks will only be able to afford to walk to the bars. Best of both worlds.

[Calpernia]

This wouldn’t be an issue if farming was embraced. We have lots of farmland being loss to development and regulations

[VocalObserver]

Increased prices of tortillas and now tequila...

[RKV]

[CholeraJoe]

and American beer could follow if barley production keeps declining here.

Unless of course one is used to the Anheuser-Busch swill which is made almost entirely from rice.

[AbeKrieger]

Perhaps we can reclaim some of our government mandated affordable housing (i.e. guaranteed gub’mint ghetto) tracts as farmland, now that it makes economic sense.

[KarlInOhio]

But domestic brewers so far have avoided big price hikes.

Probably because the biggest part of the price of Bud is TV advertising, and that price is dropping. They sure aren't spending it on ingredients or breewing.

“STOP THE MADNESS!”

Yup nothing but hype to get the futures prices to rise since most of the crops have just been plated with some exceptions like in the Far Northern states ND MN which I think just started.

[Red Badger]

Beef, chicken, pork, lamb, leather goods, and anythis associated, i.e. milk and eggs will ALL GO UP!.....STOP BURNING THE FOOD SUPPLY!..............

[Yak]

Efficiencies in the brewing industry could help stave off dramatic price hikes domestically, since "they can brew more beer today with less barley,''
As one who appreciates a rich glass of beer and knows something about brewing (from homebrewing), the thought of more breweries brewing w/ less barley is not a good thing. You can keep your swill brewed w/ corn, rice and other adjuncts, but give me 100% barley beer any day.

[The Great RJ]

Also expect increases in the price of whiskey, particularly bourbon, as supplies currently being aged in barrels are depleted.

The government raised the price of cigarettes, but I didn't say anything because I didn't smoke. The goverment's policies raised the price of corn flakes, but I didn't say anything because I would rather eat bacon and eggs. Now the government's policies are raising the price of my beer and it's too late to say anything.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Looks like the American farm will be making a comeback.

[Gorzaloon]

There IS NO DEMAND for ETHANOL FUELS!

They took bribes and forced it on us by fiat.

[GOP_Party_Animal]

I wonder if the price of soft drinks is also going up. Soda, as you know, is sweetened with corn syrup and not sugar because of another instance of government meddling.

[weegee]

“going after what pays best now”

And as more raise corn and the barley/agave/potato crops go up, they’ll shift back.

[Tanniker Smith]

Simply really. Start putting sugar in my Coca-Cola and stop using the high-fructose corn syrup.

Here's a thought Dems! Pass a corn syrup tax on all soft drinks. heh heh. You love taxes! You love taxing huge corporations!! heh heh. C'mon! You know you wanna. Taxes. The pause that refreshes!

[Armedanddangerous]

OH THE HUGEMANATEE!!!
