I dont see why anybody would think corn has to stay at an artificially low price for any reason.I didnt see the show on NBC but I read something about switchgrass and from what I read they dont even have a plant to make alchohol from it yet.My impression is that its a bunch of hype to take focus off of ethanol production with corn,because what others said allready corn works in the United States.
Switchgrass might be allright if they can phase it in,in corn country,but they are still working on it,dont have enough of it,lots of problems to work out.Corns here and producing alcohol as we speak.Personally I would rather pay the American farmers than a bunch of foreigners that hate us.Keep up the cheap corn and American farmers will go broke.Im glad to see them get what is a better price but not fair price for their corn,it ought to be 6 dollars a bushel with the price of everything else what it is.
If corn was 6 dollars a bushel that would make that cereal really only worth about what 25 cents more than it was when corn was 2 dollars a bushel?How many farmers have gone broke and lost their farms for 2 dollar a bushel corn?More than half of them.
Lots of lies get told because big oil dont want you to burn anything but gasoline.We should be just like Brazil,and not buy any oil from the foreigners by now,and if it takes growing weeds to do it then we need to be planting them.Untill something better comes along,corn seems to be bothering big oil,and that should tell us to keep doing it.
