The problem stems from the fact that the federal government is mandating ethanol usage in the country, a move begun in the Bush administration that has accelerated under President Obama. As every grocery shopper knows, the use of corn in the production of ethanol has caused a severe spike in grain prices.
In August, corn reached a record-high price of $8.49 per bushel. As recently as 2005, it was $1.96 a bushel.
That hits waterfowl hunters especially hard because farmers across the fruited plain are draining wetlands and other marginal farm lands to put in crops to take advantage of the windfall.

Last summer, Reynolds explained, the prairie pothole region had a record number of breeding ducks, which, of course, is a good thing. But the pond counts declined 35 percent.

Mother of frick I hate me some ethanol in fuel
It's incredibly fricking stupid and makes zero sense in any way. Nothing grinds my gears like ethanol in gasoline.
