Stop Using Feed Corn in Ethanol Production NOW

The time is now to help right the ship that our politicians put us in 20 years ago. Family farmers are the backbone of our country. Around 20-30 years ago, large corporations starting gobbling up the heartland family farms and running them. Corn was a huge reason for that, as it fed livestock for generations. The farm corporations hired lobbyist to coerce our elected officials to repeat the mantra that ethanol would help us lower our dependence on foreign oil as it was blended into gasoline, and it would greatly enhance the corn production in America. It did for the first 5 years. But what they didn't tell you: because the profits on selling your corn to an ethanol producer were so great(no transportation cost hauling it by barges to ship overseas, they just drove down a county road in Iowa and emptied their tons of corn in the dozens of oil baron ethanol plants located in the great plain/prairie) a large part of the corn crop was now being steered towards ethanol production and away from animal feed, with less supply of feed corn the cost of food sky rocketed over the years to where it is now, that mammoth aquifers of fresh water(that should last for 1000's of years) sitting under populations of only tens of thousands have been drawn down by all the ethanol plants that use 9 gallons of drinking water to produce 1 measly gallon of ethanol and an entire bushel of corn only makes 2 gallons of ethanol. Chile and California grow and use sugar beets to produce ethanol with no impact on feed corn but still high fresh water usage. Hydrogen fuel is the answer to fuel our cars, we need to commit to this NOW!
