Default RE: Ethanol=4.1M Acres Less Hunting Land

I hope you are right, Lefty. I do not see the prices going down anytime in the near future. The demand for corn for ethanol will continue to rise due to federal mandates for it to be added to fuel. The oil companies are involved with ethanol production. They do not want to miss out on a cash cow.

I am also worried that the effects on food priceswill be astronomical. Corn is being usedfor ethanol, burned in corn burning stoves, feed for livestock,the production of biodegradable plastics, corn oil, corn meal, etc, etc. We can only produce so much!
