Barley and wheat prices have skyrocketed as more farmers plant corn to meet increasing demand for ethanol, while others plant feed crops to replace acres lost to corn.

Just one more unintended consequence of the ethanol silliness.

Give full credit where credit is due: your federal government.

exactly right. I pray that the eventual nominee on the Republican side comes out with a full front assault on this ethanol insanity and the utter evil of the AGW crowd. The left with the help of many ignorant, weak Republicans are pushing us over the edge to Socialist hell. The is more than enough coal and oil to power the world for hundreds of years. Every other item in the news is about Global warming and the end of humanity. It is disgusting how utterly negative is the left. The left must be wholly defeated in the next election or we will have a difficult time saving this Republic.

Big deal, and B.S.

The barley price increase translates to about 1/2 cent per bottle of beer. If that.
