Support for farmers; ethanol's local impact

Share:
The Lincoln Journal Star recently published two items that are worth highlighting.

First is an editorial, "
It's time to stick up for the farmers". This editorial mentions the smear campaign by the Grocery Manufacturers Association and its PR firm Glover Park Group. It notes that the smear campaign ignores other reasons for food price increases.

The second is a piece related to the recent ribbon cutting ceremony at the VeraSun ethanol plant in Albion. This piece highlights many of the positive aspects of an ethanol plant to rural communities. It's part of the full story of corn ethanol production that sometimes gets lost in the noise from GMA and others.
