On top of all that over the last 10 years companies that produced ethanol as a byproduct of corn syrup production actually cut ethanol production due to corn syrup demand.
Around 40% doesn't sound like "small portion of corn demand" to me. HFCS is another product that I have no use for. I'm sure lobbyists are working on a mandate there too.
Nice job using a number directly from a google search from an article that cites no sources and has a disclaimer at the bottom that it is an opinion.
LOL is all I can say. You guys don't even try to form coherent arguments.
This from Iowa State lists actual and projections from 36.6% to 43.1 depending on year. If that's not "around 40%" I don't know what is. I'm sure there's more updated info available but I'm not looking for them. Let you guys wouldn't read them if they were posted. I doubt you click on this one.
