GAME DAY READERS!
GEAUX TIGERS!
If you all don't follow the website "DandyDon.com", check it out for all LSU sports activities.
While LSU (3-0) opens a 20 1/2 favorite, all LSU fans should recall how LSU vs Auburn is ALWAYS a very crazy and unpredictable game! But, Auburn (1-2) has not looked very good in it's first 3 games against the run. And, we know the GREAT "stable" of running backs LSU has, even without Alfred Blue, who may be out 4-6 weeks from the injury he sustained in the last game. This will be Zach Mettenberger's first test against an SEC defense. It will be interesting to see how he performs. Should be a GREAT game! The game kicks off at 6:00 pm CST on national television on ESPN.
Back to ethanol..........the ethanol plants continue to suffer and are having a very hard time making a profit since losing their taxpayer subsidies on Jan 1, 2012. Here's an article on the ethanol plants in Minnesota and how they are continuing to report losses. How much longer can they survive reporting losses remains to be seen. The "tides" are continuing to turn against ethanol. The American public are finally beginning to see that this was the "worst scam ever perputated on the American public". And, more and more Congressmen and Senators are turning against the EPA's "forced ethanol mandates", which are forcing food prices skyrocket.

Ethanol takes a thrashing in Minnesota

High corn costs and low prices doubly crush state's producers.
Minnesota's ethanol makers are caught in an unprofitable squeeze.
Seven producers tracked by the Star Tribune have reported net losses for the quarter ending in June or July, the second bad quarter in a row.
Across the industry, companies are pressured on two sides -- high prices for corn, their single largest cost, and lagging prices for ethanol, their main product.
