Kudos to Chairman Peterson. He is right on and it is very discouraging for so many people who should know better to talk about more corn acres from ethanol. We all need to requote Chairman Peterson to everyone we know and even those that we don’t. “We’re virtually using the same corn acreage that we did way back in 1977,” said Peterson. “The big difference is we had a 90.8 bushel average in 1977 and today we’re up to 164 bushels.”

It is refreshing to know that there are some people in Washington DC that understand what is going on out here. Even better that it’s the house ag committee leadership, a position that will get noticed by mainstream media. We need more people that will listen to us with an open mind and let science help make up their minds.

Thank God for a Congressional Leader with the knowledge of agriculture to challenge mistaken information and the backbone to stand up and be heard. Thanks to NCGA for publicizing this. I feel we need to put much more effort in this kind of advocacy. It will advance our cause than spending much of our time in the promaotion of yields and chemicals etc.
