I know an old time farmer in Albion NY. He bought 100's of additional acres to raise corn for the, not so far away, ethanol plant and it's making him wealthy.

In the meantime, he no longer raises other vegees.

Maybe someone should tell Michelle that kids can't eat/drink ethanol in school.

Yeah, down here in the Southern Tier, the farmers are all selling off their dairy herds and switching to corn, too. On the one hand, it does cut down on government milk payola, but, then, corn for ethanol is just another form of payola.

It's a rational economic decision on the farmers' part, but, oh, the unintended consequences.
