Transporting heavy bulk goods, like coal, grain, etc downstream is much cheaper via barge. You have a huge number of barges steered by one tug boat - on the loaded downstream trip, the river current does most of the work - the tug is needed for steering, and a little push in slack water segments

Hey, how much of this corn is going to feed the demand for corn based ethanol?
Probably very little - the ethanol plants are usually based close to the fields. Much cheaper to ship the ethanol than the corn.

Going up in Illinois, family farm, living in Central Illinois where barge traffic is crucial, living in Tennessee, with a partner from rural Kentucky whose grandparents farmed - ME :)

Conservatism cannot survive a libertarian takeover

Libertarian-leaning bloggers routinely lambast full-spectrum conservatives as “pro-life statists” – with one term a slur and the other merely a condescending shrug. They’re not motivated by two-thirds of the cause that animated the Reagan coalition.

Too many advance a one-note kazoo song instead of a broad-spectrum philosophy and are animated more by intra-party guerilla purges than building plausible strategies to beat Democrats.

This turn is perhaps most ironic for moderate establishment Republicans. Those elites for years turned up their noses at those of us who are social conservatives, pouting at the lack of candidates who talked only about fiscal matters and kept divisive social matters locked in the policy closet. Now they have what they said they wanted – but they may like this new animal a lot less than they liked the Reagan conservatives who dominated primaries for the thirty years
:lol:

So you're not going to vote for Christie are ya DSU?

I have more respect for Christie than all the other "pro-life statists" that are out there :lol:

I'm a realist, a so-called "libertarian utopia" won't happen overnight, but if Christie can prove to me that he can get this country back on the right track toward fiscal responsibility then I will support him. That's what the primaries are for. :thumb:

Probably very little - the ethanol plants are usually based close to the fields. Much cheaper to ship the ethanol than the corn.
Still, one source just replaces the other - this corn is filling the food void left by the corn that gets sucked into the ethanol mandate.

Another government stimulus that only drives up the cost of corn and has little, almost negligible impact on oil consumption as a whole.
