-----Original Message----- "It would be tremendous for those of us who depend on the price of corn if more vechiles could/would use ethonal. The price for a bushel of corn today is the same as it was in the 1940's and '50's. No one else is working for that kind of pay except the farmer. The government programs to off set the poor price of corn is not the answer. Give me a market for my product." Linda Fort -----Response----- Hang in there, Ms. Fort. If the lecturer that will be here this week is correct in his bleak view about our energy future, nearby farmers will be much more highly valued to Winonans than, for instance, engineers that specialize in designing knobs for automobile dashboards. Still no newspaper announcement about the event: "The Energy We Eat: The Emerging Oil Crisis and the Future of Agriculture" by Kurt Cobb http://resourceinsights.blogspot.com/2006/01/demand-destruction-who-gets-des troyed.html John N.
