Selzers secret (sauce) is basically proper homework. Can’t knock it.

Under the radar is the ethanol question, at least in the Iowa caucus.

Trump is all in on ethanol subsidies (disagree strongly). and Cruz is against them.

In Iowa this is a major issue.

Trump is trading in practicality, Cruz in altruism.

My brother-in-law farms a massive acreage in north central Iowa. He sells about 2/3 of his corn crop to ethanol suppliers.

He also votes dem every time. It will be interesting.

I grew up in Minnesota, and most of the farmers were (still are?) democrat. FDL - Farmer’s Democratic League iirc. So I wonder for the Republicans in those agriculture states - how big of a deal is the ethanol subsidies and mandates?

I saw awhile ago where Cruz (in Iowa) said he was against ethanol subsidies - it was just one more example of big government. He got a good round of applause.
