| theprof00 said: Actually subsidies for corn ethanol are a step in the right direction. Before, they used to just burn the corn fields, now they only get a subsidy if its used for something. If you remove only the corn for ethanol, you might as well remove all farm subsidy because theyll just go back to burning it again. |
Or they'll just.... sell it.
There is zero reason to burn corn unless their is a farm subsidy to burn it.
Maybe your confusing it with Crop residue burning?
Crop residue burning when they burn everything left AFTER they've picked the crops.
I don't think farmers have burned actual sellable crops since the government forced them to do so in the 1940's.
