OK guys, look at the numbers games. IF you buy a small gas car it will get better mileage and pollute less than an older mid sized car. Say something new compared to a mid 90's mid size. Now here is the kicker. If you take into account collecting the raw material needed to make a car, the various ores, oil (for plastics) and other materials, plus the refining processes and so on. You will create more pollution than the midsize care will emit in 200,000 miles of driving if it's well maintained.
Kinda the same thing with ethanol. You create more pollution growing the corn, harvesting it, spraying chemicals on it, transporting it distilling it and blending it than it reduces. You can find multiple studies on line if you bother to research.
So getting one here, with no new members and trying to convince one side or the other to change their minds is pointless. And it has nothing to do with the environment for most of the corn growers. They could care less about that. What they are about is profit. Gotta figure out some way to get prices back up. Gotta justify GMO's and roundup. OK corn growers get mad. But that's how most of the whole world see you. And trust me, no one cares about how you see yourself. The see you as a greedy person who is trying to use government mandates that cost them money. You are paying for it to. Last time I checked the bio blend diesel is about 1.30 more a gallon because of the cost of the bio stuff. They figure just in paying that just because of the added fuel cost it's costing the general consumers 5.8 BILLION more a year in the stores. Now go online and justify that to the general public.

Today's Featured Article - The Revival of a John Deere Combine - by The Red, John Fritz. For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
