Supporting Agriculture’s Investments And Opportunities

Kansas City infoZine:
Much debate and media space has been dedicated to ethanol and food prices here in Missouri. Many consumers have become confused on what is right and what is wrong within the debate.
However, recent attempts to eliminate the 10% ethanol standard in Missouri will have limited impact on the price of corn and could have long-term unintended consequences. Corn prices are determined by the global market, not a fuel standard for the state of Missouri.
As a consumer and a mother, I understand the burdens of high gasoline prices and rising food costs. However, ethanol adds renewable and domestically produced volume to our gasoline supply, while having a minimal impact on food prices and availability. In fact, the cost of energy to transport, process and package our foods affects food prices 2 to 3 times more than the price of corn.
