<<My understanding is that farmers stopped growing many of their usual crops in order to take advantage of the ethanol market advantage, and the result is higher food costs for the 3rd world. No?? >> No is right. Half the fields in my area are corn, same as 20 years ago. The higher prices are due to higher input costs. A bag of seed now costs $300 where it was $50 a few years back but then again the yields are much better. Algore is an opportunist saying whatever will get him a few dollars.
