My fiances family owns a 700 acre farm, and they bust their butt. I will be happy if they can turn this into money for the rest of the family. I love hunting, but without money I can't afford to hunt. I agree that more land will be taken by houses. If her family decided to sell the farm it would be gone in a week, and no one in the family would ever have to work again. So its a trade off.

Her grandpa was offered 120,000 for 3 acres of land. He said no.

So I think Ethanol is the least of our worries.
