fuel cost drives the price of everything. watched oil drop $2.bucks a barrel on thurs so gas goes up .30 cents at the pump. figure that out? there not going to loose. oil is in control of every price out there.
Ethanol boom several years ago.
All my farmer neighbors yanked out their alfalfa/hay fields and planted corn to get rich quick.
Ethanol plants started going in all over. Locals started lawsuits to stop them from being built.
Thousands of acres now in corn. Surplus sitting in dryers and farmers loosing their butts. AND price of alfalfa and hay skyrocketing to all time high prices from the few farmers that didn't jump on the ethanol band wagon demanding the high price because of lack of availability.
Citizens managed to shut down ethanol plants.
Opportunist corn farmers broke.
Thousands of horses go to slaughter because owners can't afford price of hay.
Yup it's hard to be a proud American these days. :(
