Horse****. I see the liberals have invaded the forum agan.
Farmers get zero subsidies to grow corn for ethanol. The blender credit for ethanol is expired and not renewed. The part of the corn used for ethanol is the same that goes into soda pop, which is not food, and the rest is fed for livestock and human consumption.
Corn has been grown on the same land for 50 years, long before the first ethanol plant was built in the 80’s. If the market allowed growing food corn for profit on that land it would have been done years ago.
Facts are tough things.
It’s true that the blender subsidy and tariff are gone as of Jan 2012.
However one form of welfare to corn growers, the “Renewable Fuel Mandate”. that forces us to use the crap in our cars, is still there.
Hopefully we can put an end to that soon and get the corn growers off the government tit.
what an outright lie. You can't write that with a straight face.
Do a simple web search and you will numerous results that show "explicitly" that farmers get subsidies for growing corn for ethanol.
The entire ethanol program is an evil enterprise. If we had a true free market ethanol would never have been developed. It is solely a product of government intervention.

Liberals? huh? Are you a farmer? Only a liberal would support ethanol or farm subsidies.
