If you remember your American History from high school or even a little bit of your basic primary school history, you will remember that Squanto was the Indian who helped the pilgrims. One of the things he helped with was teaching them how to grow food, not the least of which was corn. Look into the future almost four centuries and we have nearly perfected the growing of corn, in most any agronomic situation, from short dry years to long cool years and every juxtaposition.
This leads us into the topic of our post, corn for ethanol. In a politically charged year, and in a state where this subject is also politically charged, I put myself into the path of the train by saying anything at all about the subject. But I can’t resist.
