I am so sick of all of these commercials on the tv and radio talking about how wonderful ethanol is! We have a small family dairy ( we milk about 55 Jerseys) our feed price has DOUBLED in the last couple of years because of ethanol. They are taking all of the corn that should go to cattle feed and human food and this is driving up the price of our dairy feed. Sure , milk is up in the stores, but i think people would be supprised to see how little we are paid for our milk! The so-called co-op (Dairy Farmers of America) and the grocery store chains make more money than we do, we do all of the hard work and get paid the least. And to top it all off ADM is the nations largest producer of ethanol--and what does our feed truck that comes once a week say on the side of it? ADM!! Our feed price has went from $800 for 6 tons of feed to $1600!!! all of this because of ethanol!!! And i am sick of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
