Renewable fuels association
justification for diversion of corn

The Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), representing U.S. ethanol producers have circulated statistics relating to the estimated 2009 corn crop which suggest that diversion to ethanol production has not impacted livestock production. The report fails to take into account the fact that demand for corn created in large measure by diversion to ethanol has displaced acreage previously used to produce soybeans. Prior to the advent of large-scale ethanol production the ration of corn to soybeans on a dol-

lar per bushel basis was 1: 2. It is now 1: 3. The price of corn is currently moderated by anticipation of a bountiful season with high yields from an expanded acreage. What the RFA do not take into account is the indirect costs to livestock producers of the consequential rise in price of soybeans which is borne by both producers and consumers as a hidden Federal (gasoline) tax. The apparently favorable situation with respect to corn would however be vastly different in a drought year when yields would be depressed. Sharp rises in the cost of corn would result from disequilibrium between supply and demand. EI
