Yes, when I was in SD a couple months ago, I listened to farmers in a cafe talking about how some of the community members had been talked into mortgaging their property to "Get in on the boom".

Reminiscent of the stories about places like Leadfield CA, near Death Valley - where the only ones who got rich were the ones that sold the picks and shovels.

Former SD Senator Tom Daschle sits on the board of several corporations involved in Ethanol.
 
Ol' Tom appears to be selling picks and shovels to the farmers after salting the mine with a few nuggets via federally mandated and subsidized ethanol.
 
Get rid of the Federal mandate / subsidy and Ethanol demand goes "poof". 
 
Let the free market decide.
 
Same with algae.
