In other words, don't believe a damn word they tell you. It's not good for the country. It's not good for family farms. It's not good for the environment. It won't help the fuel situation. Ethanol is a NET LOSS, and steals food crop land... I am glad that there are some people out there saying " hold him accountable", 'cause it seems like most people have gone back to the couch, now that Obama is in office,everything's gonna be alright....

i think saying we need to hold obama accountable, as it relates to agriculture, is misguided. to my memory, obama has never been particularly progressive when it comes to agricultural policy. of course, that does not mean we do not need to encourage him to embrace progressive ideas in this area.
