Overfertilizing Corn Undermines Ethanol

Reader Comments

With all due respect, I doubt any farmer will grow a crop of corn for cellulosic ethanol - not only is there no money in it, it removes organic matter from my fields. Nitrogen produces corn - that's what I'm paid for. The $ bandied about for stover make no sense.

No only is the 'food for fuel' argument becoming very old, it does not hold any truth.
