Diesel/ fertilizer prices are tied to OIL, so that arguement is faulty, it is easier to buy $5 fuel with $7 corn than it is with $3 corn. Will the farmer scrap his 1066-915-73 Ford ?? Let's no-till and take that into this part of your arguement. For arguing let's say you get 25MPG on regular IMPORTED gas, per your -25% E85=18.75MPG. 16gal tank of reg=400miles per tank x $4.25=$68 or $0.17 per mile, 16gal tank of E85= 300 miles per tank x $3.55= $56.80 or $0.189 per mile. For 0.02 that's 2 cents per mile or $240.00 per year I'll burn ethanol from next door and not sent it to the mid-east.
