Right, or that they even see themselves as in the “ethanol business”. Maybe they think they’re corn farmers?
Iowa is going to grow more corn than anyone needs (almost) because corn is a tall grass being grown in what was once tall grass prairie.
Marginal production areas like Missouri, Texas and Kentucky will bear the brunt of reduced acreage in the absence of fuel ethanol.
Voters seldom see the interest of big corporations as the same as their own. That’s as true in Iowa as anywhere else.
