The decision may or may not raise the price of 3. d gasoline, but it will affect the supermarket prices for meat and many other products. It could well raise the prices of fast-food burgers, chicken, soda and your Thanksgiving turkey. It could even affect the price of beer and bourbon. Ms. Jackson must decide how much renewable fuel — most of it corn-based ethanol — must be added to U.S. gasoline supplies in the next year. This year’s renewable fuel standard calls for oil companies to add 13.2 billion gallons of ethanol to fuel stocks. Next year’s standard is 13.8 billion gallons. You can get almost three gallons of ethanol out of a bushel of corn. So meeting this year’s standard will require about 4 billion bushels. In a normal crop year, more than four out of every 10 bushels are used for ethanol. Another four out of 10 go to feed livestock and poultry. This year is not normal, though climate experts say we might want to start getting used to it. With record drought having ravaged the corn crop, driving prices to record highs, the American agricultural industry finds itself divided. Ms. Jackson should waive or reduce next year’s mandate. That’s not a tough decision. Corn growers will not lack for markets for whatever part of their crop they can manage to salvage. A nation that puts 80 percent of its corn into cars and animals should not be surprised if a reckoning comes.” I believe corn should be grown for our stomachs, not our tanks. —CC— Quote of the Week: A 60-year-old man said to his friend, “I think I’ll live to be 120.” The other man asked, “Why do you say that?” He replied, “Well, I feel like I am half-dead now.” —CC— There are plenty of benefits to growing older including . . • Kidnappers are not very interested in you. • In a hostage situation, you are likely to be released first. • No one expects you to run into a burning building.
