I think you are also missing the whole point of ethanol. It is not to make our farmers rich. It is to break our dependance on foreign oil. Personally I think ethanol is a possible solution, but I think we should be producing it from grasses rather than corn. From what I understand there are some grasses that would produce much higher ethanol yield per acre.
