We farmers don't run a charity. No one will starve if they have the money to buy food.Where were the whiners when I was selling corn for eighty nine cents a bushel. It is and always has been a case of supply and demand.Don't mean to sound heartless,because I am not.Lots of people freezing in the winter months. Is it the duty of oil companies to lower the price of heating oil so everyone can stay warm? If our senseless politicians had allowed off shore drilling, we would not be in such a mess today. Had we had the foresight to have preserved all the prime farmland that went into houses and shopping centers,etc,we would not have been in such a mess that we are in today. I could go on and on about why we are where we are today.Farmers are just trying to make a living as we always have been. We are not the problem nor are we greedy as we are not the ones who are setting the price for corn. We are just being made the scapegoat in a highly emotionaly charged time.
40% of our corn is being used to make ethanol with about 30% of that being returned as feed for livestock.It makes great feed too. Corn flakes and corn meal are made from field corn as a lot of other products as well. Google corn uses and you will be amazed at how versatile a product it is.
Will corn usage for eth production cut into our food supply? Only if the users are not willing to outbid other users,which won't happen.
Tons of misinformation out there, but that happens when people use emotion instead the power of reasoning to make decisions.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
