Kraft on ethanol: Keep subsidies but move away from corn

Prof. Emeritus Mike Kraft has written a newspaper column weighing in on the controversial issue of ethanol subsidies. The piece, which ran in Sunday’s (Jan. 13) Green Bay Press-Gazette (and has appeared elsewhere) recommends keeping the subsidies — for now — but changing the rules to gradually move away from the use of corn.
