Lots of thoughtful comments miked, nice job. I don't have time tonight (maybe tomorrow from work because its part of my 9 to 5 job that I do) but there are a lot more variables involved with overall use of corn in the US and the world than just the changes in more of it used to make ethanol (and about a third of the corn used in EtOH production comes back into the animal feed sources as DDGS in various forms). That's just one example of how more complex corn use than what the talking heads can say in 30 seconds or so.



I'm curious about
On to the use of corn to supplement gasoline as a way to reduce pollution seems to me to be a bit foolish since it added other equally dangerous pollutants
. When ethanol replaced MTBE (truly a dangerous ground water polluant) as the major ozone reducing agent in gasoline in big metro areas, what extra "pollutants" did ethanol bring to the table?

More on corn use tomorrow on the government's dime, not mine. Later...
