Bah, we've got millions of acres here in Montana, any wheat producing state
will, that are not farmed right now because it won't support sweet corn.
But it will grow the field corn that you use to produce ethanol quite
nicely.

And the only reason we're talking about ethanol from corn is the mighty U. S.
corn lobby. Other crops--sugar beets up North, sugar cane down South--can
give much higher ethanol yields/acre.

any rational thoughts.

What the human gut *is* full of is moderately well known.
