Corn Farmers Meet All Needs• Corn farmers are

confident we can meet all growing needs for food, feed & fuel

• In 2011, we harvested a projected 12.4 billion bushels, for a total supply of 13.6 billion bushels.

While 50% of the U.S. oil supply comes from OPEC nations the cartel possesses even greater power, due to its control over global supplies and reserves.”

Ethanol for Fuel Security• In 2010, we made and

used enough ethanol to displace the need for 445 million barrels of foreign oil.

• This is the equivalent of 13 percent of total U.S. crude oil imports.
