You’d think people would be happy with the rise of ethanol, a renewable energy source, taking the place of some oil, which is non-renewable. By creating another market for corn farmers, it should be a win-win. But critics first sounded the alarm that farmers growing corn for purposes other than food would be starving children in Africa, and now it’s being blamed for the dismal state of pheasant hunting.For the record, saying that biofuel production is responsible for food shortages and price increases has pretty much been exposed as a myth.When it comes to birds, recent reports blame the increase in ethanol, and thus corn production, on more farmers using more of their land – including acres previously enrolled in The U.S. Conservation Reserve Program.
