The only problem here is that e85 is KILLING the farmer that doesn't raise corn in lage quantities. When you drive corn prices up you will create a ripple effect. The first farms that aren being strangled are the beef and dairy operations. If you drive up corn prices you make it exspensive to feed cow's. Meat prices will soar along with milk and everything that is tied to those industries. Your fixing a problem and creating another. I have been affected by this myself already. I feel the pain!
@hpjunky70 Oil companys are manipulating the price of corn. We have a Massive Suprlus. Distillers grains (the byproducts of ethanol) are superior cattle feed. cattle can't digest starch. 70% of the price of food is transportation cost.
