Today on the front page of Iowa's liberal rag, the
Des Moines Register, is a story about another ethanol plant closing in the state. Two of these huge political factories that convert corn into alcohol which is put into gasoline have closed.
While these plants have kept corn prices high there real purpose was to put a figure in the eye of our friends at Big Oil. The Exxons and Shells were having trouble enough before the farmers inserted the competitive fuel. Big Oil needed help from President Trump.
He helped Big Oil by reducing the onerous environmental regulations. Oil and gasoline sales went up, farmers political alcohol went down. Instead of excepting what is fair, farmers have been whining about their low prices. Trump carried these farm states and now they are making a political threat.
Farmers are saying over and over how often Trump has come to Iowa and said he loves farmers and ethanol. He was truthful. He never said he likes farmers and ethanol more than Big Oil. A bit of honesty by farmers would be most welcomed.
