Ethanol Facts:http://www.ethanolfacts.com/ETHL2007/quickfacts.html
Ethanol produces up to 9% of daily US imports 311 million barrels per day.....
Corn and Food prices have been essentially stagnent for 25 yrs......lets see your business/ line of work duplicate that
Last yr. Ag Fed Prog. gave back 6 billion in unused federal dollars....and US Treas. via a brazille ethanol tariff brought in .50 per gallon 6 billion gals of brazille ethanol..........ethanol subsiz near a wash,
A phase down, maybe out of ethanol sub. has started, new farm prog. close to being submitted drops blenders credit from 51 to 45 cents—— A sched phase down is fine.
Dont let the MSM media campaign pit Red against Red..really what is trying to be done.
Ethanol is likely respon for 25 to 33% of corn price increase. China, India etc demand along with Middleman profit taking and Trans. cost accounts for other 75%....a concerted campaign by Food and Oil Corptns is in full swing, fully assisted by MSM’s
Question-—with china, india, Indonesia, Japan demand, even without ethanol in the equation.....one could say corn price might be at same level regardless.......Check out the price history of Hard Red Spring wheat in the last 6 month time period......with dollar low USA is the grain supplier of 1st choice pure and simple.
Sure ethanol has its weakpoints, but has employed 160k people.
final point in food concern: Ethanol uses only the starch portion of the corn kernal.....the protein is sold to the lvsk industry, in very high demand to produce food, actual reduction in feed available is reduced dramatically.
Spend some time in the “ethanol facts” link.... make an informed decsion,.......not a D.Kos type decsion
The “e” mark and the “stylized e” are registered service marks of the Ethanol Promotion and Information Council. The links include the "Corn refiners Association", "Distillers Grains Technology Council", and "University of Minnesota Distillers Grains Web Site"
I prefer the guys who stand up for the American Taxpayer instead. Not a bunch of welfare moms who refuse to get off the gov't dole.
