Having been a farmer now for over 50 years, it is hard to read the response by many who really have no idea what they are saying, as they just spout what they have read from some expert. To blame high food prices on ethanol ignores all reality. When corn goes up $1.00 a bushel I see cereal companies raise prices a $1.00 a box. Their cost from the corn increase is less than 2 cents. The idea of corn disappearing that goes to ethanol production is a myth. The by-product is brought back and is a higher quality feed for livestock than when it left the farm.I could go on and on, but the point is so many people act as experts that are misinformed about ethanol production as they use facts that are from the early years of making ethanol and apply it to today's modern plants.
