[QUOTE="skyline, post: 532080, member: 5305"] I'll be the first to say I don't understand all the economic impacts of corn based ethanol, but the corn farmer's product (corn) is now over $6 per bushel, more than double a few years ago - in large part due to the new demand for corn produced by over $5 billion per year in federal and state subsidies to the ethanol industry. Compare that to the cattleman, whose product price is declining, at least in some part due the high price of feeder corn. He's paying the same increases in his inputs. [/QUOTE]
