There should never be a solar panel built on anything except pre-existing structures. If you’re willing to take green space and put solar panels on it, then you really don’t understand the problem.

Diesel specifically makes up about 1-2% of our cost of production. If diesel was half the cost of last year, which it isn't, it still wouldn't move the needle. Now if Saudi Arabia wants to declare war on Bayer and Corteva, we might have something.

It's quite clear China can't, at least in the short-term, satisfy its ambitious ethanol agenda. Negotiate preferential treatment of U.S. ethanol into China and kill two birds with one stone. Exporting 500 million gallons of ethanol to China will have more impact than E15.

Honestly don't think most realize how big of deal this is, environmental impact aside for a moment. While it hasn't all gone to soybeans, Brazil has deforested on average the soybean planted area of Michigan every year for the last five years.

P0157 planted May 15. Was supposed to be 0339 but we pulled it back because of the calendar. Behind but still a lot of potential. Surprised how far we’ve come the last two weeks.

It’s just a little conspicuous that the crowd calling the Brazilian soybean crop dead are some of the same people who tired killing the U.S. crop all summer. And that turned out fine. Don’t @ me with localized instances. Talking nationally.
