Pretty much yes. It is simple supply and demand issue with government intervention. As a wheat producer in North Dakota this is my perspective, in commidity agriculture government subsidy programs and tax policy determines what we grow. That is not a secret. Almost none of that corn grown for fuel would be find itself in the food supply. However when those acres are used for corn/ethanol production (because of subsidy payments or tax policy) they are not being used for cereal grains, beans or whatever, reducing those supplies, driving up food prices. So, there is a limited amount of ag land in the world, the more that is used to produce fuel (or fibers for that matter)the less food will be produced. I am not picking sides, and we need fuel and fibers, but to answer your question, ethnol production definately will cut into the food supply and increase prices..
