A grain marketer was speaking. He said that even if we eliminate RFS completely ethanol production wouldn't decrease by much. Many types of crude oil end us as 81 octane when they are refined. Ethanol would still be the cheapest was to bring that number up to 87, etc. The other additives still cost more than ethanol at this time. I had not heard of that before this meeting.TheFarmersLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16784068906673144530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3391499622368077610.post-91992572891274917272012-08-29T08:12:16.074-07:002012-08-29T08:12:16.074-07:00Joshin,

From the dairy perspective/bias is removing the ethanol mandate or subsidy the same as shutting it down? <br /><br />Great post, I think touchy subjects are the most interesting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10399411520727026771noreply@blogger.com
