A law written for energy independence is now the mechanism for food dependence. The Renewable Fuel Standard mandates that 15 billion gallons of corn ethanol be blended into American transportation fuel annually. That volume consumes approximately 43 percent of the US corn crop. The mandate was established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and expanded by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. It was designed for a world where corn was abundant and America wanted to reduce reliance on foreign oil. That world no longer exists. Corn acres are falling to 94 million from 98.8 million because urea at $610 makes the nitrogen economics impossible. The RFS takes its 15 billion gallons from a shrinking harvest. The percentage of remaining corn available for feed, food, and export compresses with every acre that switches to soybeans. The mandate does not flex. The biology does. Waiving the RFS requires the EPA Administrator to make a formal determination that implementation would cause severe economic or environmental harm. The process involves a public comment period, regulatory review, and potential legal challenges from the ethanol industry. The EPA proposed 2026 and 2027 RFS volume requirements in June 2025 and has been targeting Q1 2026 for the final rule. The rulemaking machinery was designed for normal agricultural cycles. It was not designed for a war that closed the world’s most important fertiliser transit route during planting season. Even if the EPA Administrator initiated a waiver today, the timeline from announcement to implementation stretches weeks to months. The corn planting window closes in three to four weeks. The legal process cannot outrun the biological calendar. By the time a waiver could take effect, the acreage decisions it was meant to influence would already be irreversible. The RFS is the transmission belt that converts a fertiliser crisis into a food crisis. Without the mandate, a shrinking corn crop would still produce less total output, but the available supply could be allocated flexibly between feed, food, and fuel based on market signals. With the mandate, 43 percent of whatever corn exists is legally spoken for before a single hen eats a kernel or a single tortilla is pressed. The flexibility that markets provide is overridden by the rigidity that law imposes. The cattle herd is at 86.2 million head, a 75-year low. Poultry operations rebuilt from the 2025 avian flu but face rising feed costs. Dairy herds are contracting. Every animal that eats corn competes with a fuel pump that has legal priority. The protein cascade, from corn to feed to meat to eggs to dairy to the grocery shelf, begins at the point where the RFS takes its cut. Corn Belt legislators who championed the RFS to support their farming constituents now face a perverse outcome: the law they wrote to help farmers is the law that prevents the market from adjusting to a crisis their farmers are living through. The ethanol industry will resist any waiver. The livestock industry will demand one. The consumer will pay the difference. And the EPA rulemaking process was designed for annual adjustments, not emergency response during a 21-day-old war. Fifteen billion gallons. Written into statute. Consuming 43 percent of a crop that just lost 4.8 million acres to a fertiliser price that originates in a strait the law never contemplated. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@Bkitch1Bodie @jrlikeswhisky I think some guys will go to extremes. I know you got dem $$$!
English
@RittingerSean @jrlikeswhisky See that’s the thing
I’m not planning for a failure
I’m planning to see how cheaply I could raise the most bushels possible.
English
I had a grower ask me yesterday.
How cheap do you think you can raise 180bu corn and I told him I thought I could do it rather cheaply, and it got me thinking. Which inputs and what rates are you the most confident in when investing your seed/fertility dollar
English
@Bkitch1Bodie @jrlikeswhisky Plan for a failure, have one.
English
@jrlikeswhisky Yea it would have to be a very strategic cut of things for sure. I agree with you.
It was an interesting question posed. I figure I could cut .78/bu off my expenses

I wish Columbia Gas Ohio knew this. It is double the price from last year. Cannot wait for my check for heating my house.

There is a reason why the US actually has negative nat gas prices. 1. We produce a shit ton of gas (technical term) 2. Our shale wells are getting gassier as tier one acreage has been burned through 3. Yes, we are building out LNG export facilities but its not enough to absorb the excess we are producing. Be happy we have the lowest electricity prices in the WORLD in areas the are powered with nat gas.

The CIA sent me to Sudan to help the regime beef up their security and train officers in EOD. I used my real name, but I was “Captain” Mike Vining, because they wouldn’t be receptive to an NCO. This is what we call “low visibility” in Delta. I was issued a diplomatic passport.

🌽$4.98-1/2 per bu

Will Monday's highs be the annual highs for new-crop corn & soybeans in 2026? Dec corn nearly hit $5, though the close was almost 17 cents off the session high (Nov beans closed ~24 cents off).

@Lewis_Bollard @TomiLahren Tell me you know nothing about the pig industry without telling me
English
Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.
Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.
Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.
The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.
Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

Next to Tricia is her husband, Benjamin Yoho, that was handed $243 Million, in no bid marketing contracts, to produce ads, featuring Kristi Noem and ICE.
A quarter of a billion tax payer dollars.

🚨BREAKING: AMERICAN BEAST MODE ACTIVATED🚨🔥
When the United States Navy opens up… it is not chaos.
It is coordination.
It is calculation.
It is overwhelming force applied with precision.
Steel hull cutting through cold water.
Deck guns roaring.
Missiles leaving rails.
Fire control systems working in perfect synchronization.
This isn’t a video game.
This isn’t hype.
This is what happens when generations of sailors train for the worst so America never has to experience it at home.
People throw around FAFO like it’s a meme.
Out there… it’s physics.
You push too far.
You test the line.
You get a response you cannot outrun.
American sea power isn’t loud for attention.
It’s loud because it’s decisive.
Carrier groups.
Destroyers.
Integrated radar.
Layered missile defense.
Live fire discipline.
When the beast wakes up… it doesn’t roar for applause.
It ends the threat.
Respect the sailors.
Respect the readiness.
Respect the flag flying above that steel.
That’s not aggression.
That’s deterrence.
