Going back to the Carter Grain embargo in the Late 1970's which DAMAGED Farm Balance Sheets.. for a generation.. and was a contributing factor to the Farm Crisis in the mid 1980's.. out of the Cost Price Squeeze some producers such as Dave Vander Griend started companies.. such as ICM.. which later became the Lead Process Technology provider for over 100 ethanol plants built mostly in the 2,000's..

Financed and supported by Farmers.. such as myself.

This was OUR ANSWER to America's dangerous reliance on Imported Crude Oil from Places not very friendly to us.

"Why should we send our sons and daughters over to Foreign Lands to Fight for Sand..Camels and Crude Oil?"

Also it was Our Response to Farm Program Payments.. Fine.. if you don't want to subsidize us.. then Let us FILL A MARKET!!

So we did..

And we're up against the World's most Profitable Oligopolistically Controlled Multi National Oil companies some in fact Many are State Actors such as KSA's Saudi Aramco.. and Russia's Interests..China.. Iran.. Iraq..  as well as the Exxon Mobil's and the rest of the Fortune 500 companies..

.. and we're just trying to eak out a living.. "doing what's right."

So Gosh Darn it.. we deserve a break.

Pruitt needs to Go!!  When Big Oil starts targeting us.. for the crime of having a good idea.. not giving up on it.. seeing it through some rough waters..(including a bankruptcy or two..) and now this..??

Give me a break!!

The Tariffs are one thing.. but this SUCKER PUNCH from our OWN TEAM in Scott Pruitt.. ?!?

THAT is WHAT IS UNFORGIVEABLE!!!

Collectively America's Farmers have invested BILLIONS.. ONE DOLLAR at a TIME.. in our COLLECTIVE FUTURE of Energy Independence and stregthening our Rural Communities.. only to be met by this Response from our Own Team.. 

SHAME on YOU Scott PRUITT!!

If this is how your going to Treat us.. then Who needs you?
