Dear Bill;

Your concerns are important points to consider in this isssue and were lucky to have you in our group to present them.

The "doom & gloom" folks in Berkly, Ca. were who I was refering to.

Archer Danials will be the "big kid on the block" with this like you say, but the 'small guy' will play major role as well.

Perhaps BLM lands can be used (free), maybe 'tax incentives' (income) will play a role. Don't the Oil Co.s make fertilizer? The growing of (non editable) corn must be cheaper than, that for human consumption. What if the (final)product were 'picked up'from the farmer?? I don't know.

I do know that; you & your neighbors can/will figure it out somehow.

What kills the farmer is the 'unstable sale price' or timely need of the product, Right?? With a constant need/price for the (non editable) corn, this goes away, Yes/No?? Not my field.

We won WWII in the 40s. We rebuilt Japan and Europe in the 50s. We won the 'space race' in the 60s & 70s as well.

We CAN win this one too. \:\)
