  The longer the remaining U.S. cotton, corn and soybean crops stay out, the greater the potential for consumers to feel the effects and face slightly higher prices for products ranging from sodas to tofu to meat, said Chad Hart, an extension economist at Iowa State University.

  "If we hadn't seen oil go up over the last four or five years, we wouldn't have seen this push toward biofuels," said Chad Hart, an agricultural economist at Iowa State University.
  ...
  "What we're facing with cellulosic ethanol is the same with any new energy source," Hart said.
  ...
  Hart estimated that it costs about $1.60 to produce 1 gallon of corn ethanol.
  ...
  Hart takes a wait-and-see approach.
  
  "There are a lot of logistical issues to work through, which is why those six demonstration plants are key to me," he said.

  "When you look at what's happened to the ag sector in the past couple of years, the biggest thing is that ag has been tied to the energy sector," said Chad Hart, an agricultural economist and head of Iowa State University's Center for Agricultural and Rural Development's Biorenewables Policy division.

  Chad Hart, policy analyst at the Center for Agricultural & Rural Development, explained that a past U.S. Department of Agriculture-Economic Research Service study found that only 5% of the retail value of a loaf of bread or a box of corn-flake cereal is passed back to the farm.
  
  "Even if corn prices double, the cost of a box of Cornflakes will not increase enough to cause a major impact, even though we're seeing major increases in farm gate corn prices," he said.
  
  Meat prices could take a bigger hit if corn prices continue their upward climb. Hart said 30-50% of the retail value of meat is passed back to the farm.

  Iowa State University Economics Professor Chad Hart adds that "In terms of corn-based ethanol, the California ruling was a body blow. California by itself is basically the sixth largest economy in the world and California has set out the rules which are not favorable for corn-based ethanol. Corn-based ethanol has been building up in an effort to fulfill future national demand for renewable fuels. The California ruling doesn't take effect until 2011, but it already has ramifications as far as investment decisions and growth in the industry, starting today. Especially for any new plants coming on line, they've got to look at that as a major blow because it's not just California. . . we may see other states follow. Hart says "EPA is the next big player to watch as EPA moves forward in looking at how to evaluate greenhouse gas emissions from both biofuels and conventional fuels."
  
  Hart and Hofstrad agree that the few ethanol plants still powered by coal won't survive as the industry as a whole reduces its carbon footprint by moving to greener power for ethanol plants.
