ADM and the other agri-giant companies are making money hand over fist because of the bio-diesel speculation..driving corn prices higher and higher, yet the production of the fuel uses MORE energy than what's produced..and the side effect is that food products will only cost more....Sounds like "sound-agriculture" hah!
Or course from a grower's perspective, I can understand it. Wouldn't you grow a crop that you can sell for a high price? (The sad thing is that the small farmer gets very little )
