Thanks, that's kind of what I figgered but wasn't sure. Wonder if they will still do that when the corn crop becomes much more profitable than the alternate crops?

Have finally found one real, indisputable benefit of the ethanol push. Prices for the byproducts will come down, as the supply of them will skyrocket. Corn oil, cattle feed, and other products should become very inexpensive.

<<Most farmers I went to school with rotate alternating years corn (which requires more fertilizers and then soy beans.>>

The reason for that was root worm control. Now the darn things have evolved to where many of them lay their eggs in bean fields.
