Low farm commodity prices has promped many Idaho farmers to go to planting corn, there seems to be a great idea that the cars will be able to run on 200 proof corn whisky.
Miles of corn fields exist this year where miles of potatos have existed in years past.
The good news, (for us) hay prices have doubled in one month! At the first of June, the going rate was $100.00 a ton, the price now is $200.00, a ton! Word is, its going a lot higher. If all the farms go to corn to feed the nations hungry cars, there will be little land growing food for people? That just my own wild guess.
There is not enough food now for all the worlds people. If 50% of the produce goes to feed cars, where will the food come from?
