The Ethanol program does nothing to keep the cost of meat down Craig. Yes I have special interests as does everyone else. I like my truck to run well. I do not like paying more for a lower quality product. We currently pay farmers more to till up poor quality ground and call it an attempt at growing corn than we ever did for CRP. The Nitrate run off and erosion is causing problems and not just in the Gulf. I listened to an interesting story on Harvest Public Media last year about some of the efforts in Iowa to restore CRP to key drainage's and other highly erodible areas to combat some of the problems created by working poor ground.
