East Central SD | Cowboycorn - you hit a nerve with me there!!! I feel there has been too much check-off money wasted in the past. If the councils want to show me that they are putting my money to good use they should be pounding the pavement by showing the true cost of our grains in a box of cereal, in a cheeseburger, and in a can of corn. Ethanol is taking a big hit from people that don't understand the rise in corn prices are not responsible for the big price increase in their box of corn flakes.
I know someone with come back telling me that they are doing that. I haven't seen much evidence of that in this area. There should be large ads in ALL of the major newspapers and magazines... put an article in the "soccer mom's" magazines showing them that a $5.00 box of cereal has a dime's worth of corn in it and it's in a forty cent cardboard box - they don't have a clue.
Until I see the corn council using my dollars being very active in getting the word out they won't be keeping my money.
End of rant. Kevin | |
