In Reply to: U of M study; Corn ethanol no better than gas posted by bradk on February 04, 2009 at 14:51:53:

just a few comments on the posts I read here. We have a surplus of corn, that was one of the driving forces to create another use for it. We raise corn because it is a viable crop in the midwest so as for energy used for raising corn we would raise another crop if it wasn't corn. Oil companies have a direct interest in shutting down the ethanol industry be careful not to believe their b.s., I do use 10% ethanol in my gas tractors, some use e85 in theirs. old 2 stroke engine crank seals were affected by alcohol, materials have been changed long ago. Alcohol has no detrimental affects on a 4 stroke, disagree? Prove otherwise! I sometimes put a mixture of e85 in my 95 f150. Your money stays here with ethanol instead of going to some ragheads to buy weapons to use against us! I can't believe the opposition to ethanol on this site but I also realize many here are wanna-be farmers with no relationship to corn production or live in states where corn is not a major crop. Most farmers in Minnesota support ethanol and we use it. I remember the days of frozen gas lines and getting stranded in -20F temps with ice in the fuel filter. No longer a problem with ethanol. The corn price is dropping I would appreciate it some of you pro-oil anti renewable people on here could find more uses for my corn as you don't think it should be used for fuel.

Today's Featured Article - Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live ...
