Your post strengthens the actions of Pruitt. It shows fishing for an excuse of overproduction of corn. Wynnewood is the exact type of refinery that exemptions were made for. It's a very small old refinery, but that town depends on it for their existance. You are also arguing about refineries in states that have little to zero need of ethanol in their fuel. Most gas stations in rural oklahoma do not sell gas with ethanol in it.

Do the math and add up all the people affected by ethanol production, then do the same for oil and gas production. There is a big reason that Washington doesn't care. Texas produces around 35% of the us crude yet just the texas production is more than double was all corn is. Over 1 million people involved in refining oil and what, 30 something thousand in corn ethanol.

Go back to growing 60 million acres of corn like it was 22 years ago and you might have $8 corn. You don't have the numbers to challenge the oil industry. It's better to work with it than against it and realize plowing up ground and planting corn on it was the pro

Oil,and cattle built and run the Southwest. Just the way it is. In 2012 when there was a big run up in grains and we were totally drouthed out and having to poor feed on the ground in July just to hang on to a few head. There was some petulant little beoctch who was constantly making posts about how he did not feel sorry for the end users and wanted corn to go to $12.

Guess what? We ain't forgot. How ya like us now?
