using crops in the production of ethanol will also impact the way crops are used for food. For instance, a bushel of corn at 56 pounds can make 2.5 gallons of ethanol, which a farm that produces 125 bushels an acre that would make 310 gallons of ethanol. Therefore, it would require 2.5 million acres to produce the average need of 8 billion gallons. Second, since the population is always increasing, the use for farmland is declining. This makes people argue that using farmland for energy…
