It's the Obamacare, stupid!

One-half gallon of oil in the form of pesticides per bushel of corn would cost $2 to $3 per bushel.

And this idiotic piece of agitprop -- from a hydrogen "energy" advocacy site -- also shows the guy in the encounter suit spraying chemical fertilizer, a sight that I've never been privileged to see, what with me *growing up on a farm*.
