It's nice (as a consumer) to see lower gas prices -- like today's $2.59 a gallon price at Kum & Go -- but it's not exactly good news for the ethanol industry. That, in turn, is going to put pressure on farmers, and that's not necessarily good for the state overall. We definitely need to make sure that we're reinvesting some of the profits of the biofuels boom in long-term growth for the state.
