Ethanol producer blames Indiana plant closure on Trump's EPA

CLOVERDALE, Ind. (AP) — The owner of a western Indiana ethanol plant is blaming its shut down on the Trump administration allowing some refineries to not blend ethanol with gasoline as required under federal law.

Indiana?
South Dakota?

Midwest farmers' Trump loyalty tested by new corn-ethanol rules

“That's our own country stabbing us in the back,” farmer Randy Miller said. “That's the president going, 'The oil companies need to make more than the American farmer.' ... That was just, 'I like the oil company better or I'm friends with the oil company more than I'm friends with the farmer.'”

At least 15 ethanol plants have been shut down or idled since the EPA increased waivers under Trump, and a 16th casualty came Wednesday: the Corn Plus ethanol facility in the south-central Minnesota town of Winnebago. The Renewable Fuels Association says the closures have affected more than 2,500 jobs.

Minnesota?
And that’s from Fox News.

It wasn’t enough to trump had ruined the lives of soy bean farmers. Now he’s attacked corn farmers. And prices of everything’s going to go up with all those farmers going bankrupt and losing their jobs.

When they say they’re not sure who they’re going to vote for, what they’re saying is they are ashamed that they voted for Donald Trump because he’s ruining their lives.

No wonder Trump is angry at Fox News. They keep reporting all his fiascoes and debacles just like real news reporters. They used to sugarcoat it, but I guess they’ve become diabetic to all the sugar.

People don't think about this, but fishermen are also "agricultural" workers. They harvest the sea. When the tariffs first went into effect last year, fishermen optimistically looked for different markets. Apparently, that hasn't worked quite as well as they'd hoped.
Let's hope for everyone's sake that the Maine lobster market doesn't go belly up. Besides being a major industry in Maine, people all over the country LOVE them. It would be pretty sad if we had to import them from Canada!

A 3.5 pound lobster is held by a dealer at Cape Porpoise in Kennebunkport on Saturday. America's lobster exports to China have plummeted this year as new retaliatory tariffs have shifted business to Canada.

U.S. lobster exports to China have fallen off a cliff this year as new retaliatory tariffs shift the seafood business farther north.

China, a huge and growing customer for lobster, placed heavy tariffs on U.S. lobsters — and many other food products — in July 2018 amid rising trade hostilities between the Chinese and the Trump administration.

Meanwhile, business is booming in Canada, where cargo planes are coming to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Moncton, New Brunswick, to handle a growing bump in exports. Canadian fishermen catch the same species of lobster as American lobstermen, who are based mostly in Maine.

The loss of business has brought layoffs to some Maine businesses, such as The Lobster Co., of Arundel, where owner Stephanie Nadeau has laid off half the 14 people she once had working in wholesale.

Indications are that ethanol decreases the efficiency of motor vehicles which leads to a higher consumption of fossil fuel. Environmentalists should be pleased but probably not if they are democrats. In 2013 the "Scientific American" questioned the use of 40% of the corn crop to feed automobile engines instead of people.
