Talked to a farmer last year. Said he grows only one kind of corn...and it goes to the ethanol plant.

Farmers play the market, too so they have to be backing this somehow.

I don’t see how farmers could’ve backed this. It means the end of corn based ethanol. corn can’t compete with sugar cane for ethanol production and sugar cane can’t be grown in north america.
