What was said earlier about the price of corn driving up cattle prices is false. I explained it some before but want to clarify. The cattle marketis traded on the futures market. That market does not care one tinkers dang about the price of corn. All it cares about is the current and more so, the future supply and demand of cattle.

The two things most important and expensive things to a corn farmer is seed and fertilizer. The corn futures market does not care one tinkers dang on how high the fertilizer and seed prices go. It only looks at supply and demand of corn. The feedstock of either of these commodities in their availabilities or lack of does not matter to either of those markets.

Also most areas if you hunt around will have someone that sales 100% gasoline. If you look in a lot of cases, you will see that this gas is priced $1 higher than regular E10 gas at the regular pumps. That is what Ethanol is doing for you.
