None of you non Ag people are aware that for ‘08 Congress has set 38M acres as No Till.
Google what that means.
Then for kicks, Google how may acres the Entire State of Kansas has as ag land.
Those markets were closed to prevent their farmers from selling their food overseas. Thereby guaranteeing cheaper food for their countrymen.
And they wouldn’t have closed their markets if their hadn’t been a rise in food prices.
Nonetheless, it does exacerbate the problem.
What makes you think I said that field corn is not sold for food in other countries?
Your tone is rude. What the ethanol is used for had little importance in what I wrote, whose repeated emphasis was on transportation and storage of ethanol.
OMG!!!! Have you SEEN the price of fertilizer???????? I can’t believe it!!!!
Fuel prices are enough to put us over the edge but some fertilizer has tripled in price.
I am afraid to look but it won’t be long till I must order about 4 tons for application—its either that or don’t plant a crop.
There is talk of governments toppling. Might happen, but the food riots would have to be a little more substantial. Right now they seem to be small and politicially motivated.
The tone was incredulous.
And I note that you haven’t responded to the questions raised... but instead try to redirect attention to the irrelevent.
Can you answer the questions?
To answer your “incredulous” question, yes, there are many, many things that ethanol can be used for. Not just gasoline.
Which has very little or nothing to do with what I was talking about, but seems to hold you in rapt fascination.
So there, I have answered your “incredulous”, or as I would call it, “extraneous” question. Do you have any contribution to make that would concern my question, that being “Where is all the ethanol being stored?”
If you want to argue or debate outside of that question, please direct it to someone who cares.
