How will we keep up with production of corn?

In an article published yesterday, studies showed that "US factories producing ethanol fuel for cars may consume as much as half of the country's corn crop next year" for ethanol. Essentially, prices may rise because the corn will be harder to get due to the vast amount it takes to make ethanol.

After reading this article, one thought jumped to my mind. Factory farming consumes so much land, resources, and food. With the elimination of these cruel and barbaric practices, all the land previously consumed would be free for ethanol production and other eco-friendly ideas for the future.

Just one more reason to go vegan.
