Hey man what is your problem, You work for the
Grocers Alliance, who started this anti-ethanol
campaign last year. Same bunch who got a gaggle
NY writers to trash ethanol, said financial writers
now upset that the speculators can’t make a killing
and have you people blame it on farmers with your
attitude. Farmers here don’t want oil companies to
get tax credit as it causes you folks to beat on them.
That tax credit wasn’t the idea of farmers here.
And Congress is reducing the credit a little every year.
And that plant didn’t forget the feed it was going to
make. It was a plant just getting set up and going,
with big bills and high corn prices to have to
fight, while getting started.And they were in a bind.
They will probably going later as others have,
that got reorganized.
And my math is ok, as the savings is actually higher,
over the 100 billion a year than the round figure I
gave......I like round figures.....44 Triple Ds.
And The high corn price did effect the profit a
plant made. 7 dollar corn vs 3 1/2 dollar corn as
it is now, is a big cost factor, be like a car
company paying its help twice as much, and
paying twice as much for parts and still trying
to sell the car for same price.
And the speculators had all commodities up
so that the price the Grocers Alliance folks had to pay
was up, as well as the energy cost they had for
processing and delivery. So what did they do.....try
to blame all on ethanol/farmers. Instead of the people, speculators, who raised the prices. And now that
commodities are down; milk, meat, etc are down the Grocers
Alliance raised prices of other stuff in the store like
pop, detergent, etc. Every type of stuff in a market
is made by a member, even though it isn’t food.
They are trying to deflect their problems and greed
onto the back of the farmers....Ed
I don't like wasteful government programs and I have a good grasp of economics and physics. What's your problem?
You work for the Grocers Alliance,
No.
That tax credit wasn’t the idea of farmers here.
What was the idea of farmers there? The ethanol mandates?
And my math is ok, as the savings is actually higher, over the 100 billion a year than the round figure I gave...
Show me.
