re: Comments needed on E15 (fuel containing up to 15% ethanol). Do work, OB.

I think the claim was, everything a farmer has Is subsidized and the reason farmers grow corn is because of ethanol subsidies. I'm not defending ethanol. I hate it. It's stupid. But it's just like wind and solar energy. It doesn't work without government mandated quotas and tax cuts/subsidies/incentives.

And that's not how farming works. Farmers don't know nor do most care where their corn goes once they cut and sell it. Ethanol may have, many years ago, driven the price of corn up short term. It's not a new market, in fact some plants closed or did not get built. Farmers aren't growing corn because of ethanol.
