Food vs fuel a fallacy, says NCGA board member on barnstorming tour

January 24, 2012 |

In Texas, National Corn Growers Association board member Wesley Spurlock is traveling around the Midwest speaking out against the food vs. fuel debate, calling it a fallacy.

“To put it simply, growth in demand from the ethanol industry has mirrored an increase in productivity that yields larger corn crops,” Spurlock said. “We are still supplying the livestock industry with the corn that they need for feed, but we now have a market that utilizes an increasingly abundant resource to help solve our energy problems also.”
