POPSBest Use of Grain: Food or Fuel?
"In some U.S. Corn Belt states, ethanol distilleries are taking over the corn supply. In Iowa, a staggering 55 ethanol plants are operating or have been proposed. Iowa State University economist Bob Wisner observes that if all these plants are built, they would use virtually all the corn grown in Iowa. In South Dakota, a top-ten corn-growing state, ethanol distilleries are already claiming over half of the corn harvest." "With so many distilleries being built, livestock and poultry producers fear there may not be enough corn to produce meat, milk, and eggs. " "As the price of oil climbs, it becomes increasingly profitable to convert farm commodities into automotive fuel, either ethanol or biodiesel. In effect, the price of oil becomes the support price for food commodities. Whenever the food value of a commodity drops below its fuel value, the market will convert it into fuel." Geez, the more I learn about ethanol & biodiesel the more I see what a mistake it is for the world.
