<<States that rely on ground water to drink shouldn't use it for irrigation.>> That's a little too general. People in Mason County rely on wells and the water table is 84' thick. Then they irrigate all summer and the water table ends up ... 84' thick. Plus springs flow into the Illinois River all year. All depends on your aquifer. Found this on ethanol effecting food prices. >>Here in the United States, the Congressional Budget Office had already looked into the issue and issued a report in April 2009 that discussed the role of factors such as energy: "CBO estimates that from April 2007 to April 2008, the rise in the price of corn resulting from expanded production of ethanol contributed between 0.5 and 0.8 percentage points of the 5.1 percent increase in food prices measured by the consumer price index (CPI). Over the same period, certain other factors-for example, higher energy costs-had a greater effect on food prices than did the use of ethanol as a motor fuel."<<
