E-85 or petroleum, let the market decide. The problem is that the progressives in Washington have decided that E-85 is the way to go. Because we have adapted "Eastern Religion" and can't hurt the earth we are becomming like the people of India. They are starving yet they will not eat cows. Being vegetarians they depend on green crops and grain produced in fields. Their soil is some of the richest in the world but they can't produce the crops because the cows that wander freely eat the shoots. Religion prevents them from fencing the fields or runing the cows out of the fields. We have a new religion that is earth first. Here we sit on enough oil to supply the worlds needs for centuries but are not allowed to drill, much less build refineries. The hills and mountains in Kentucky and W.V. are heavy with coal. It would damage the environment to mine this coal and the sufer content would cause acid rain. So in a few years we will shiver in our cold dark houses with no heat or light. Is this what we want? Our reluctance to move forward is like being unwilling to plow the field because we might kill an earth worm. But the bigger question is, "Would E-85 survive if allowed to compete without government subsidy?" I don't think so. I do wish the corn farmers to do well, but corn farmers have to compete in the same market I do. If there is no demand for corn then do something else. I am an Agricultural Engineer. If no one wants my service, I might be forced to do other work. This is hard but fair.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th ... [Read Article]
