“I am kind of surprised that the Corn Growers Association of America is supporting the Allen-Wyden legislation. I am sure that if they really understood the ramifications of this legislation, they would not be supportive of it because they would understand that if that legislation passes, their real estate taxes or other taxes they are paying would increase. I am going to make a point of getting in touch with them. I received the President's Award last year from the Corn Growers, from Fred Yoder, who was their president, and worked very hard, several years ago, to get the petroleum people and the Corn Growers together to come up with the ethanol compromise that is now in the Energy bill. I am glad the Senator from Virginia has pointed out they are supporting this legislation. I am going to get in touch with them right away and share with them some information they might not have had at the time they came out to support this legislation.”
