I don't want to throw cold water on the E85 thing, not for tractors but for the hybrid cars and trucks being produced. I read (from perhaps an unreliable source, I don't know) that if ALL the corn production in the US went into E85, and people and cattle had to stop eating corn, that it still wouldn't make much of a dent in overall fossil fuel use. It takes a lot of fossil energy to produce the stuff, also. I don't think it will be the answer. I am more interested in the oil they are "mining" in Canada, there is enough there to satisfy America's needs for a long time. Expensive? -- Yes, but so are current oil prices. And, don't blame the Arabs for high oil prices. Oil, natural gas, and gasoline is traded on exchanges just like stocks, it is high priced because of all the crazy traders trying to make a fast buck. IMO E85 is just a feel good thing, and may not amount to much, I do hope that I am wrong.
