Thank goodness we’re burning our grain supply in our autos.

BTW, despite record commodity prices, the House and Senate last week approved a record $26 billion dollar five year farm bill.

We should end both the farm subsidies (that drive up prices and government spending) and ethanol subsidies (drive up prices).

I didn’t realize we used the whole kernel of corn to make ethanol. I thought only the sugars in corn were needed.
