I’ve read many of your posts on this thread. They read like a left-wing dammocrap’s posts - or maybe those of a socialist. Go back to DU. Or CPUSA, as the case may be.
RC one is simply defending his livelihood. What business are you in. Read the following and let us know what you think? Actually, the link norwaypinesavage sent is from Auburn but is about irrigated corn grown on the high dry plains in Texas, a poor place to grow corn anyway. Most corn of course is dry land raised and the article provides some good science-based evidence, not the left’s usual attack on private businesses. The following is straight out of the executive summary of the article and is supportive of what I have written. “l.1 A more comprehensive analysis by USDA found a 34% net energy gain,2 rising to 67% after accounting for co- product energy credits.3 The consensus is that dryland production of corn results in a net energy gain of 30-70%, depending on soil productivity, production practices, and distillation technologyâ€Â. Thanks for sending the link.
