AH yes the program that has driven meat prices up. No corn for food or feed. Yeah that’s smart.

How stupid for a country to burn their food for fuel. We deserve what we sow.

Will Iowa still vote Democrat if these subsidies are withdrawn? If not, they’ll be in place til the country collapses.

The feds give companies that combine corn ethanol with gasoline a 45-cent tax subsidy for every gallon of corn ethanol added to gasoline. A 45 cents per gallon incentive to add a little extra ethanol above the mandated 10% ?
On a thread here on FR about 3 weeks ago a reply said that a friend who owned a Chrysler dealership was having unsual problems in his service department. So the dealer purchased a test kit or device to check the percentage of ethanol in the gas tanks of the problem vehicles.
Up to 21% ethanol was found to be in the "gasoline". The reply posted did not say if a lower percentage solved the problems.

and the price of beef and the price of pork and the price of corn flakes ...
And it takes more petroleum energy to produce a gallon of ethanol than the gallon of ethanol produces.

I’d love to raid one of these ethanol plants with a truckload full of freshly toasted oak whiskey barrels, fill ‘em up and stash them someplace for a few years. It’s pure corn likker and the barrel will sure sweeten it up and give it some color...

I’d advise against it. The ethanol is mixed with a poison to render it undrinkable and hence no threat to the alcoholic beverages tax structure.
