Farmer's Markets
As farmer's markets boom - bringing great foods and prices directly to consumers - what can we learn about the real story of food vs fuel, when it comes to the use of crops that can be refined into either?
The Digest looks at the data on food - and finds some surprises for those marketing the "food vs fuel" storyline.

Practically any day of the week - but especially on weekends - around the US, there are busy and colorful farmer’s markets. There are 8162 of them across the country, according to the USDA. None of them sell fuel, just food - despite an alarming amount of coverage of the issue known as "food vs fuel".
Why is that? Well, at our local supermarket this week, white corn is selling for $0.33 an ear. That works out to a value of around $16.00 per bushel - more than three times above the $5.00 per bushel price reported by USDA for Kansas City US No 2 rail White Corn.
In today's Digest - we look at prices and profits in food, prices and profits in fuel â€" and as we delve into the data on food, we find some surprising factoids on crop prices, acreage, the influence of biofuels mandates, and the scaffolding of demand. Almost as tempting and tasty as the foods at out finer farmer's markets - all on colorful display for you today at biofuelsdigest.com.
