is this overreach of federal power or is this simply political retribution? They ignore democrat farmers and simply go after republican farmers
Most farmers are Republican with the exception of corn growers. Those that grow corn reap huge profits due to the federal mandates for ethanol in gasoline.
Actually I am a great proponent of ethanol. It should be put in charred oak barrels and loving cared for for years. Preferably 12 years are more. We then call it sour mash whiskey and I buy it a very premium price.
