The IOWA FARMLAND rush continues on...........

Laserboy,

Now you've attacked the ethics, sense and craft of the American farmer. Feel better? I do agree with you about the ethanol house of cards, however...

You'd better check your facts about the state of ag in Brazil. Yes, their production numbers are impressive, but not sustainable (neither are ours!), they have tremendous infrastructure problems, exchange problems, huge environmental problems, and as they make the switch to commodities (as opposed to food products) they will soon feel the pinch of petroleum based agriculture.

The US farmer puts food on the plate for less than any other in the world; its better food, safer food, more diverse food and damn sure more environmentally friendly food (now) than you'll find elsewhere.
