Podcast on Informa Report

The latest “Ethanol Report” podcast features comments from Informa Economics CEO Bruce Scherr and Renewable Fuels Foundation chairman Bill Lee on the report that “puts to bed” the food versus fuel debate.

One of the key findings of the report is something that most people in agriculture already know – that prices farmers receive for the commodities they produce are only a fraction of the price of food at retail level. Scherr calls that portion of food costs “the marketing bill” and he explains what all that includes.

The report was commissioned by the Renewable Fuels Foundation, but chairman Bill Lee of Chippewa Valley Ethanol in Minnesota says it was very important to them to use a company that was known to be highly credible and objective. Informa has a 30 year history and is well-known in agribusiness for its integrity.
