If sugar cane planters here would’ve stayed competitive with foreign growers
let everyone know how this was possible with the increase in regulations/wages etc thats mandated by the government

this technique also works to clean your fuel
put 1/4" of water in your gas jug.
alcohol, and moisture condensate all end up in the bottom layer.
just pour off the top for clean fuel
all my hard start and carb issues (mower) went away then I started doing that

They haven’t innovated anything in 50 years because the government made a rule that 85% of the sugar has to be grown here
This creates a stagnant industry and keeps sugar prices high which means that all the companies that used sugar either switched to hfcs or moved their factories to Mexico
Nowadays the largest bakery company in America is a Mexican cartel affiliated company called bimbo that has all their factories in Mexico for the cheap sugar and sells all their product here

How long does this take?

Land that is used for corn production would not be used for a grazing pasture. It would remain in corn production and we'd just add feedlots.
Anecdotal, you drive the Iowa countryside and you see more and more farms getting into the cattle biz. At least it seems that way to the eye.

Another scam.
Corn absorbs carbon, ethanol fuel is cleaner. That's what we were told at least.
But in reality, it hurts the climate more. Tractors to farm corn aren't using ethanol fuel. Fertilizer production for the corn for ethanol doesn't help the climate. And a lot of grasslands and ecosystems have been mandated over the years to be plowed for corn.
Oh and the RFS was signed into law by W.
Bush 1 gave us visas and Bush 2 gave us the renewable fuel standard.

Less and less every year. Cheaper rice can come out of Brazil

I use non-ethanol gas, but it is expensive right now.
Justified? Well, will improve your gas mileage and offer long term protection of your engine. Ethanol is corrosive, the Feds don't care about you, only lobbyists...

Yep. I've got 150K on my vehicle and it drives like new. Cars are one of the products that have improved dramatically over the years.
Do I think some of the older vehicles look cool for nostalgia sake? Sure. But modern cars are far far superior to older cars.

Dang right, Mexican corn is the stuff.

Im sure a few Aggies have.

100% gasoline costs more because of its HHV compared to 10% ethanol fuel. On a mpg basis, prices are comparable.
$1,000 for things I didn’t know.

So those billet cutters and planters were around 50 years ago
The row sweeps which makes burning less necessary were to?

I think either they should suffer like every other farmer or every crop should get an 85% quota on it
Trump gives the sugar cane farmers an 85% quota so they can drink mint juleps on the veranda like it’s 1840 and dumps billions of tons of rotten beef on the us market and tells China to stop buying soybeans

So you can't answer my question because you know jack shite about farming.
I think the opposite. Rice and Beef should get the same treatment as sugarcane to limit the imports. Cotton should also get some kind of differential treatment to encourage US companies to make cotton clothing here using domestic cotton

That’s exactly what I said
Or just open up the market for sugar wide open and let them suffer like other farmers
