E.Central MN | Well, as far as I know there's no shortage of beans, nor any law preventing people from eating beans if that's what they want to eat. I agree that there's more to raising corn than just solar energy. If we could grow corn without fertilizer or pesticides and didn't ever go on a public road with equipment and trucks then we'd be home free...well, except for the dust, the noise, the pollen, the humidity, the boring scenery. the lack of butterfly habitat, etc. So we have all these issues that society doesn't like about farming. And yet we never hear them mention those things when they talk about the petroleum industry. Heck, the tax laws won't even let us write off the production we've already harvested on our farm land yet they allow petroleum companies to do it all the time. How about we leave them alone and they leave us alone for a change. | |
