The Minnesota Corn Growers Association is out with a survey of 800 people that generally gives high marks to corn growers and ethanol. A spokesperson says the survey was not undertaken to be released to the media, but it subsequently was.

Since we’ve talked about the cost of ethanol-blended gasoline vs. the cost of straight gasoline on News Cut several times in the last month, it’s worth pointing out that 55% of the people surveyed don’t think it is less expensive and support its production for other reasons.

By the way, 70 percent of those surveyed believe global warming is a fact.
