My BIL was visiting and tells me they're going to build an ethanol plant in cornland where he lives.
The local farmers are very excited because the price of corn is rising as we speak. However, in order to meet the demand for their corn, they would have to abandon conservation measures that have been in place for many years.
Sounds like "Dust Bowl, Part 2" in 20 years........... No more soybeans, we need all the cropland for corn. I guess the soil doesn't need nitrogen anyway........ : :
