[QUOTE="john250, post: 794900, member: 4406"] Pretty refreshing, isn't it. The Corn growers lobbied Congress through years and years of $2-$2.50 corn prices and they would have thrown a party to celebrate an increase of $.25 in the annual average price. Came a perfect storm of dependence on foreign oil, short supplies, terrorist attacks and etc. Congress got in a mood to proclaim enery independence and blend mandates and ethanol went over the top. Of course, when corn prices exploded corn expenses also exploded and now, $4/bushel is barely breakeven on good yields. Reforming the system of presidential primaries would go a long way toward solving this silliness. Iowa (and if it has to be one state with undue influence I'd choose Iowa second after Indiana) has way too much influence on this process. Ethanol comes at the expense of animal ag, and I'll miss steak more than I would miss the F-250. We'll all really miss meat when it's not affordable. [/QUOTE]
