69. Your link does not have any mention of less weight of ddg
Please show link that shows that, is this using fisking

You have no mention of seed company trying to get small farmers hooked on seed from them. This brings their cost up

They want them hooked on hybrids seed. They also taking farmers to court when hybrid seed pollen blows over on a field that its not planted on. They are trying to say that it is their stuff now when it was never planted there. They want farmers to pay for it. Some of these farmers in Africa can't pay for seed. They never had too.

Yes you are missing the point about farm land becoming non farm land. Because the first thing they do is haul off the topsoil. You say land use for fuel makes food price go up. Less land to grow food makes the price go up then. The best farm land gets sold. So if less food is raised it makes the price go up. It can not be put back to make food. Yes it does cause problems. Its like a virus spreading every where. I travel the whole lower 48 so I see it, the amount would make your head spin. The farmer can't raise the price they get for what they raise if the cost of production goes up. The global market does that and futures market have an effect on this price. So if one farmers price for product doesn't cover his cost he stops making the item. Unless that land is sold off.

The price of food is going up but not for reason that you state, am I missing the point. My point that we will get mix right between bio fuels and food, but unless something is done we won't have to talk about it because the fields and wild spots will be gone. All wild things can live unless we just keep taking their habit away. We are spreading like a virus until we are to the edge of petri dish. In the lab we see it going on and shake our head because you see how its going to end. We can't see the dish that we are in.


Some land that is in production has been making food longer than USA has been, maybe you should ask them how they have done it. Without outside input
