[QUOTE="jhambley, post: 328085, member: 1535"] KNERSIE writes: If the producers are making a lot of ethanol, that means oil and gas prices are high. In that case, the cost of fuel to plant and harvest, fertilizer to boost gains, petroleum to make pesticides, fuel to transport grain, fuel to process corn into ethanol, gas to dry the by product, fuel to ship it back to the cattle producers will all be very expensive as well. Not the greatest senario for a cheaply purchased by product. Our economy, and its inefficient methods, are currently supported by relatively cheap energy prices (we pay less for a gallon of gasoline then we do for bottled water). When oil and gas supplies tighten, our entire economy will have to be reinvented with the cost/availablity of energy being the sole criteria in determining whether a process/product is viable.
