With all the taxpayer money given to corn growers for ethanol,a farmer would be a fool to grow anything else.
Thank you Iowa.
Meanwhile,our energy salvation AND the return of cheap food lies under caribou and fish poop...waiting...waiting...waiting for the permission of extremist environmental misanthropes to let us go get it.

The growers don’t get the subsidies, the blender does. There is a small producer’s ethanol credit, that’s it.

As far as subsidies in general, there isn’t any this year because corn is too high.
