OK guys, look at the numbers games. IF you buy a small gas car it will get better mileage and pollute less than an older mid sized car. Say something new compared to a mid 90's mid size. Now here is the kicker. If you take into account collecting the raw material needed to make a car, the various ores, oil (for plastics) and other materials, plus the refining processes and so on. You will create more pollution than the midsize care will emit in 200,000 miles of driving if it's well maintained.

Kinda the same thing with ethanol. You create more pollution growing the corn, harvesting it, spraying chemicals on it, transporting it distilling it and blending it than it reduces. You can find multiple studies on line if you bother to research.

So getting one here, with no new members and trying to convince one side or the other to change their minds is pointless. And it has nothing to do with the environment for most of the corn growers. They could care less about that. What they are about is profit. Gotta figure out some way to get prices back up. Gotta justify GMO's and roundup. OK corn growers get mad. But that's how most of the whole world see you. And trust me, no one cares about how you see yourself. The see you as a greedy person who is trying to use government mandates that cost them money. You are paying for it to. Last time I checked the bio blend diesel is about 1.30 more a gallon because of the cost of the bio stuff. They figure just in paying that just because of the added fuel cost it's costing the general consumers 5.8 BILLION more a year in the stores. Now go online and justify that to the general public.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
