Farmers are now free to do what their hearts have desired to do for decades, produce enormous crops……. And then get paid for those crops by willing buyers who will pay a price that ensures a fair profit. .

Sure. As long as the government requires that we burn it. What are the farmers going to do after people realize how expensive "clean air" is and how minuscule is the effect of oxygenates in fuel? What will they do when people realize that "global warming" is a scam?

If the past foretells the future, farmers will be as hooked on ethanol as drunks are hooked on, well, ethanol.

That wasn't the point of my post. There are a lot of reasons to be opposed to ethanol, including those you've outlined. Lack of ability to produce enough is not one.

My point was that AMericans have gotten used to cheap food, the cheapest and most varied food supply in history, and much of that was a result of a long term government plan and at the expense of the farmer.
