I heard on the radio that Mexican farmers are plowing-under their agave crops to plant corn. People don’t realize how serious this will become a few years down the road.
I NEVER use ethanol but a lot of people complain about its performance.
Yea, try to buy corn taco shells. Hard to find … Taco Bell take heed.
Agave are dying from fungi among other parasitical attackers; they must grow to a certain age for tequila production so if they are sickly or dying they will never make an economical crop.
The soil best suited for agave is totally unsuited for corn; a lot of amendment and irrigation will be necessary to switch over.
