Huckabee group make s a play for Big Corn in Iowa attack on Cruz

NY Times:

New Ads in Iowa Attack Ted Cruz Over Ethanol Stance


The ads, produced by a group with links to former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, seek to damage Senator Ted Cruz’s standing in a big corn-growing state.
I think Cruz is right in wanting to do away with ethanol subsidies and requirements and letting the product compete in the marketplace.  He also favors doing away with other energy subsidies including oil.  Sinc eI am not a corn grower, I see this as a good thing.  I really dislike what ethanol does to my equipment.  It drives up the cost of maintenance of small engines and it is not an efficient fuel.  The ethanol requirements are a product of a time of perceived scarcity of oil for gasoline.  That clearly is not a problem anymore.
