Say It Isn't So: Mexican Farmers Shift Production to Ethanol From Tequila!

Say It Isn't So: Mexican Farmers Shift Production to Ethanol From Tequila!
Mexican farmers are setting ablaze fields of blue agave, the cactus-like plant used to make the fiery spirit tequila, and resowing the land with corn as soaring U.S. ethanol demand pushes up prices.

The switch to corn will contribute to an expected scarcity of agave in coming years, with officials predicting that farmers will plant between 25 percent and 35 percent less agave this year to turn the land over to corn.

"Those growers are going after what pays best now," said Ismael Vicente Ramirez, head of agriculture at Mexico's Tequila Regulatory Council.

She is a bit hardcore isn't she?

But I wouldn't want to be accused of condoning excess alcohol consumption by glamorizing it.

But then again a face like that could drive you to drink even more..sometimes I just can't win.

LOL

You can probably have that pig for 8 pesos or less. I don't stock any tequila in my home as I don't like the stuff so let them grow corn.
