Snow, by leaving off the last half of the sentence I wrote, you completely changed the meaning of it, then asked me a question irrelevant to what I wrote. <Why should the US subsidize Brazilian farmers? > I can't think of a reason why USA citizens should do that. Can you? Have you ever heard of anyone outside Brazil who thinks that might be a good idea? [ElM not included] You are probably right that the tariff is to offset subsidies for farmers or at least prevent competition from Brazil [from where I expect little ethanol is delivered to the USA]. I'll ask Google. ... I got sick of looking and wondered what the heck was I doing looking up ethanol 20 years after I got rid of the damn stuff [from my BP Oil alternative fuels days]. I don't really care what ethanol consumption is. It's trivial and just tax swindling political nonsense. Mqurice
