Keith I'm not saying all people don't think And certainly not this group here. What I am saying is a person on the street. 9 out of 10 people that know about ethanol if you ask them how it is made or what it made out of they will corn or grain. I don't know if you heard about the new ethanol plant they are building in Kansas and all the BS hype they gave it. The people that are building it had public meetings on the plant. They had an oil co rep that told people how they would buy the ethanol and mix it with gas. They told the farmers how that would pay top dollar for the grain and how everybody wins. Bull what they didn't tell is the only winners will be the plant owners and the oil co becouse after the ethanol is is processed and mixed with Fuel. The spent grain will be dryed and used in animal feed. Like Dog food, Cat food And Cattle feed just to name a few. onec agin I want to say Iam sorry if I made any one mad in the Group. Jim Allen
