I dug up this old post looking for info on E-85, and I got really upset reading it. There are a lot of comments from people who have no clue about corn farmers the corn market, and what it means to our economy.
E-85 is one of the best things to happen to the automotive industry in years IMO. I'm fed up with giving Iraq oil money. Our boys are over there dying everyday, and we're supporting them with billions in oil money a year.
E-85 is an alternative fuel that requires minor or no changes to any gasoline engine to run. And all the cash stays in this country! Sure there's better ways, and they will come. But this is now.
I'm not trying to start a debate, but I just wanted to give the other side of the story that you never hear. And I
AM a corn farmer. We sell 95% of our corn to Tyson (chicken feed).
They are a very good company to do business with too!
