Considering the recent discussion how about this quote from Gene Logsdon:

"The best use of corn in my opinion is to make good bourbon. At least we 
might die happy if our civilization crashes like the corn-dependent Mayan 
culture did. It is a crying shame, but the best Kentucky bourbons are 
rarely available in my corn belt county and I bet not in yours either. 
Since ethanol is nothing more than corn whiskey, why not convert all those 
ethanol plants to distilleries, hire experienced Kentucky distillers to run 
them, and sell the product at $125 a gallon rather than the measly $3.50 a 
gallon that subsidized ethanol costs? Farming might actually become 
profitable. "

Love it, Don!!!  Too funny.  Here i am in KY, and hate the taste of
Bourbon.  I was much happier in the highlands and islands of Scotland
last fall on my UK AG/rural entrepreneurial learning tour where they make
the most fantastic Scotch!
Toni - who really loves French Champagnes the most ;-)
