Farmers Grow Energy From Corn In The Farm Belt
Dr. Harold Cloud of the University of Minnesota argues production agriculture could become a major energy source. He compares energy yields: 370000 Btu per bushel of corn versus 5.5 million Btu per barrel of oil, implying 14.9 bushels equal one barrel of oil and a national corn crop could rival 1.12 billion barrels of oil in energy.

Agriculture Secretary Bergland calls embargo criticism political baloney. The piece notes Stevenson’s 1965 death.
